• Preheat grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill burgers for 2 minutes. Flip and brush with barbeque sauce. Flip again and cook until burgers are no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Turn off the grill. Add 2 slices cooked bacon and 1 slice Cheddar cheese to each burger; close lid and let cheese melt, about 1 minute. Transfer burgers to buns and top each with 1 lettuce leaf.

BISON REUBEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place 2 cups of the barbecue sauce in a large shallow baking dish, add the brisket, and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Remove the brisket from the refrigerator, season with salt and pepper, and sear well on both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the carrots, onions, and celery and cook until soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Return the brisket to the pan and add the chicken stock and the remaining 1 cup barbecue sauce. Bring to a simmer on top of the stove; then cover and place in the oven. Cook until fork-tender, about 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the pickled red cabbage. Bring the vinegar, honey, and salt and pepper to taste to a simmer in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until just wilted, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the brisket from the cooking liquid, tent with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.
• Place 8 slices of bread on a work surface. Top each slice with 4 or 5 slices of brisket, 2 tablespoons of the cheese, some pickled red cabbage, and a drizzle of the dressing. Top with the remaining bread.
• Heat one-third of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 2 to 3 sandwiches at a time until golden brown on both sides and the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining butter and sandwiches.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and hot sauce in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. Stir in the pickled okra just before using.

GRILLED BISON CHEESEBURGERS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

• Mix bison, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper in a bowl until evenly combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky and easy to form. Split into 4 equal patties. Use some leftover bacon grease to moisten each side of the patties; this will inhibit them from sticking on the grill and adds a little flavor.
• Cook patties on the preheated grill until browned, about 5 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each patty should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place Cheddar slices on each patty and continue to grill until melted, about 1 minute more. Remove to a plate.
