Fiesta Burgers

2 pounds of ground bison
1 cup spicy salsa
½ cup fresh green pepper
½ cup freshly minced onion
2 eggs

Mix all ingredients together and form into 8 patties.

Helpful grilling hints:
Because bison meat is very lean you must be careful not to cook your burgers too long or at as high a temperature as you would with beef.  The more rare the meat the juicier the burger.  Always use a cooking spray or brush cooking oil on the grill before grilling your burgers.  Turn only once!

Makes 8 four-ounce burgers
