AIP Bacon Fat Bison Sliders Recipe

bison sliders

Bison sliders are a great way to mix up the usual beef burger. I took this up a notch and added bacon fat because bison is typically really lean and therefore can dry out fast when grilling them. Also, bacon fat is a great way to make anything much more flavorful. These can be made into regular size patties but I love them as sliders.

  1. Remove mushroom stems and discard. Thinly slice the mushroom caps.
