Steps

  • Step 1

    Make the filling. In a medium bowl, add the cream cheese, jalapeños, bacon and minced onion and stir to combine.

    Divide the ground bison into 8 portions, and form each into a patty. Place a generous spoonful of the cream cheese filling on 4 of the patties. Top with the remaining patties. Dip your hands in cold water, then gently press the seams together to completely enclose the filling.
