A coworker gave me 4#s of bison. 2 packages of 2#s each. I have never cooked bison, but I couldn't pass it up. He may be bringing me more if I like it. So, I have searched the forums and found a few threads regarding ground bison. Now I am just more confused. :wacko:
With 1 package I was wanting to do some burgers. Should I grill them on the kettle or do smash burgers on the BS? 100% bison or mix it with something (10-15% pork) for some moisture? if I mix, do I regrind with the pork or just mix by hand? Is there such a thing as over grinding meat?
With the other package I want to do a smoked meatloaf. I was thinking of a 50/50 of pork/bison. Does this sound about right? Cook to what temp? Do I take it to around 165*? That is when I usually pull off my meatloaf.
