  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

4 ounces reduced or lowfat sharp cheddar, divided
1 pound lean ground bison
1 small jalapeño chile, finely diced
1 teaspoon grated lime zest, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil cooking spray
4 sourdough rolls, split
Sliced red onion (optional)
Lettuce (optional)
Pickled jalapeño (optional)
Light ranch dressing (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut 2 ounces cheddar into 1/4-inch dice; grate remaining 2 ounces cheddar. In a bowl, combine diced cheddar, bison, jalapeño, zest, chili powder, salt and pepper. Form bison mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties. Coat a grill rack or grill pan with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Cook patties 5 minutes; flip and top each with 1/4 of grated cheddar; grill until internal temperature reaches 160°F, about 5 minutes. Place a patty on bottom of each roll. Garnish with zest and onion, lettuce, pickled jalapeño and ranch dressing, if desired. Top with other half of roll.
