Instructions

1.
In a large bowl, gently combine the ground buffalo meat with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Be careful not to overmix.
2.
Divide the buffalo mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties, slightly larger than the burger buns as they will shrink during cooking.
3.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
4.
Add the brown sugar, bourbon, balsamic vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce to the onions. Stir to combine and continue cooking until the sauce has thickened and the onions are nicely glazed, about 5-7 minutes.
5.
While the onions are glazing, preheat a grill or a separate skillet over medium-high heat.
6.
Cook the buffalo burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness. If using, add cheddar cheese slices during the last minute of cooking to melt.
7.
Lightly toast the burger buns.
8.
Assemble the burgers: Place lettuce (optional) on the bottom bun, top with the cooked buffalo patty, a generous portion of bourbon-glazed onions, tomato slices (optional), your favorite burger sauce (optional), and the top bun.
9.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
