Here’s one of our favorites:

Buffalo Burgers with Carmelized Onions & Swiss

So I was craving a burger last night, but it is the week, which means I “need to be healthy”.  Adam always raves about buffalo burgers – how good they are and how lean they are.  So…I trekked out to Whole Foods, bought some buffalo meat, and decided to give it a whirl.

The meat was tender, juicy and abundant.  With the delicious caramelized onions and creamy melted swiss, this was a great change from chicken dinners, healthy, and full of flavor!

Serves 2

Ingredients:

1 lb ground buffalo (bison) meat
2 slices swiss (I use lacey swiss, it’s lower fat & sodium)
4 med yellow onions
salt
pepper
worchcestershire seasonings (I use Weber Chicago Steak seasoning, but whatever is in your cabinet will do!)
margarine
olive oil

Method:
Mix together ground buffalo, salt, pepper, worchestershire, and seasonings.  Make 2 patties, and refrigerate until ready to cook.

Slice onions and saute in a pan with 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp margarine on medium heat.  Toss regularly, until browned and carmelized (about 40 minutes).

Cook burgers in pan on medium heat, 5 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking.  Buffalo meat is good meat, so medium rare is okay.  I like mine medium, slightly pink in the middle.

Remove burgers from heat.  Place a slice of swiss on top, then the carmelized onions.

Voila!

When doing your cardio on the treadmill, don’t hang on! Lower the speed to 3.1 and climb 12.0 incline.

This is wayyyy more effective than walking 4.0 on the 12 incline and hanging on.

You can also switch it up by incorporating running intervals and walking on the steep incline to help break up the time.
