Steps

  • 1

    Make the filling. In a medium bowl, add the cream cheese, jalapeños, bacon and minced onion and stir to combine.

  • 2

    Divide the ground bison into 8 portions, and form each into a patty. Place a generous spoonful of the cream cheese filling on 4 of the patties. Top with the remaining patties. Dip your hands in cold water, then gently press the seams together to completely enclose the filling.

  • 3

    Reshape the patties as needed, and transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for one hour.

  • 4

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 500°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
