That’s Big Sky country for you! And our kitchen? It’s the gateway to this culinary paradise.

– 4 hamburger buns (or lettuce wraps if you’re feeling adventurous)
*Instructions*:
1. Mix the ground bison, onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Don’t be shy; get your hands in there and give it a good squish.
2. Shape the mixture into patties. Pro tip: make them slightly larger than your bun – because who wants a burger that’s all bun and no fun?
