Cheese-topped Buffalo Burgers

Prepare the grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium-high heat.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the ground buffalo, yellow onion, salt and pepper. Using clean hands, shape the mixture into 4 generous patties.

Grill the burgers directly over medium-high heat, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Check for doneness by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the side of the burger, internal temperature should register at least 160º F. Burgers should be cooked through with no pink areas.

During the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheese on top of each hamburger and lightly toast the buns, cut side down, on the grill.
