Bison Bluecy Burger

If you aren’t from MN, you might not know that this is the home of the juicy lucy. This is my twist on the cheese filled burger, only using ground bison and blue cheese. The grated onion in the burger keeps the bison moist, since this burger will need to be cooked through for the cheese to melt. There’s no such thing as a medium-rare juicy lucy. The burger is topped with caramelized shallots and peppered mayo.
