Blue Cheese & Butter Bison Burgers

• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
• 1 lb ground buffalo meat
• 4 scallions, chopped
• 2 teaspoons thyme, fresh
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• 1 tomatoes, sliced
• 1 white onion, sliced
• 4 slices bacon, cut in half

1. Mix together butter and blue cheese. Shape into a 2-inch diameter log and wrap in wax paper. I like to make this and keep one in the freezer packaged in a protective re-sealable bag.
2. Mix bison with scallions, salt, pepper, and thyme in a large bowl. Divide into four even pieces and roll into balls.
3. Slice a 4x1/2 inch discs of the blue cheese and butter mixture. Place 1 disc in the center of each bison ball, and shape into burgers.
4. Season the outsides of each burger with additional black pepper if desired.
5. Grill burgers to desired doneness, being careful not to flatten and cause the juices / flavor to ooze out.
6. Serve with your favorite rolls, condiments, and the tomato, onion, and bacon.
