A trip to the Southwest with this juicy green chile cheeseburger made with rich-tasting ground bison. You could make these with freshly roasted green chiles of course but canned green chiles from the market just make it quicker. Serve with a sliced tomato salad if desired.

How To Make green chile bison burger, diabetic friendly

1
Preheat grill to medium-high. Place onion in a small bowl and cover with cold water..

2
Place bison (or beef), 1 can drained chiles, 1/4 cup cheese, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Gently combine without over mixing. Form into 4 patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
3
Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the burgers, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 155°F (165°F for beef), 4 to 5 minutes per side.
4
Top each burger with an equal portion of the remaining green chiles and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute more.
5
Drain the onion. Assemble the burgers on toasted buns with onion and shredded lettuce.
6
Tip: To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
