Bison, Avocado & Bacon Burger

This bison avocado and bacon burger is the kind of meal that surprises you — bold, juicy, and layered with flavors that work together like they were made for each other. The richness of the bison mixes beautifully with the creamy diced avocado and the smoky crunch of beef bacon. A little red onion adds a clean bite, while the Worcestershire sauce brings everything together with that deep, savory finish.

When the burgers come out of the oven, they’re tender and full of flavor all the way through — no dry spots, no bland centers. Tucked inside a lightly toasted Hawaiian bun with Thousand Island dressing and a crisp leaf of romaine, every bite has that perfect combination of sweet, savory, and fresh.

Pair it with sweet potato fries and you’ve got a complete meal that feels hearty, wholesome, and seriously satisfying — comfort food with a chef’s touch.
