Directions

  1. Combine ground bison, egg, crushed crackers, Italian seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, black pepper, and coarse salt in a large bowl. Use your hands to form mixture into 4 large burger patties. Place on a plate lined with waxed paper and refrigerate until ready to cook.

  2. Preheat grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  3. 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).

  4. 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.
