Ingredients
1 Pound Bison, ground
1 Tablespoon smoked paprika
1 Teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 Cup green onion
1/3 Cup cilantro, chopped

As Needed olive oil
2 Slices reduced-fat cheddar cheese
8 Slices Roma Tomatoes, sliced into 1/4" rounds
4 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
As Needed Iceberg lettuce
Steps
1
The ingredients make for 8 sliders. Set the grill to 350 degrees F.2
Mix ground bison with the seasonings and form into 8 small patties3
Thoroughly wash the mushrooms. Chop the stem off the mushroom caps. Using a small knife or spoon, carefully scrape out the inner black portion of the mushroom caps.4
Spray the caps with a little olive oil, then toss them face down on the grill for no more than 8 minutes. This will help soften them a bit.5
Add the bison patties to the grill and cook for about 10 minutes. Then, flip them over to cook for another 5 minutes or so (to desired readiness).6
Cut each cheese slice into 4 equal squares, then place the square of cheese on each slider and let the cheese melt on the slider for 1 – 2 minutes.7
Assemble the slider. Squeeze a bit of Dijon into one of the caps, then add maché (lettuce), 1 tomato slice, the bison patty and then top with the other mushroom cap.8
Skewer with a toothpick or wooden stick if needed. Enjoy!
