Lean bison patties stacked with caramelized onions and mushrooms on Hawaiian rolls—built for serious heat.

Ingredients

FOR THE SLIDERS

  • 1 teaspoon Casa M Spice Co Cattle Drive or Uncontrolled Cattle Drive
  • 1/2 teaspoon Casa M Spice Co Chain Reaction
  • 1/2 teaspoon Casa M Spice Co Uncontrolled Chain Reaction (Optional for Added Heat)
  • 20 oz Ground Bison
  • 1/3 Cup Sweet Onion, Fine Dice
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 12 Hawaiian Rolls, Sliced and Ready for Sliders

FOR THE TOPPINGS

  • 1-1/2 Cup Sweet Onion, Medium Dice
  • 1 Cup Mushrooms, Medium Dice
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • Sliced Cheese
  • Pickles
  • Mustard
  • Pickled Chiles (Optional)

Method

  1. 01

    Heat the grill

    10 min

    Get your grill screaming hot on high heat before you touch any meat. You need that surface temp to lock in a good crust and those signature grill marks.

  2. 02

    Caramelize the onions and mushrooms

    12 min

    Melt butter in a sauté pan over medium heat, then add the diced onions and mushrooms—let them sit and brown without stirring constantly. This deep caramelization builds serious flavor, then season with Chain Reaction and Cattle Drive to taste.

  3. 03

    Mix the bison patty base

    3 min

    While the onions are working, combine ground bison, finely diced onions, Worcestershire, Chain Reaction, Cattle Drive, and Uncontrolled Chain Reaction (if you want heat) in a bowl. Mix gently until just blended—overworking makes tough patties.

  4. 04

    Form and season patties

    5 min

    Shape 12 uniform slider patties and lay them on a sheet. Hit both sides lightly with salt and your choice of Cattle Drive or Uncontrolled Cattle Drive—this is your seasoning moment before they hit the heat.

  5. 05

    Grill the first side

    2 min

    Get the patties on the hot grill, close the lid, and let them sit for about a minute until you see good grill marks on the bottom. Patience here—don't move them around.

  6. 06

    Flip and finish

    2 min

    Flip each slider, add a slice of cheese, sprinkle more Cattle Drive or Uncontrolled Cattle Drive to taste, and let the second side get marked too. Pull them off when the bottom shows those marks—don't overcook bison or it'll dry out.

  7. 07

    Assemble and serve

    2 min

    Load those hot patties with the caramelized onions and mushrooms onto toasted Hawaiian rolls, garnish as you like, and get them to the table while they're still steaming. This is peak eating right here.

From Mike's Notebook

01

Bison is so lean you need the diced onion mixed in—it adds moisture the meat won't provide itself.

02

Don't skip the caramelized onions; they're not a topping, they're what makes these sliders worth eating.

03

Toast the Hawaiian rolls cut-side down in the pan drippings after cooking the patties.
