Double Blueberry Bison Burgers #BBQWeek #Sponsored

 This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of the sponsors of #BBQWeek.
I received complimentary product for the purpose of review and recipe development,

but all opinions are honest and they are my own. This page may contain affiliate links.

Today kicks off a fun-filled event coordinated by Ellen of Family Around the Table and Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures. Not only did they wrangle all of the food bloggers, but they lined up some fantastic sponsors who shipped us ingredients and items for use in creating recipes for the event. So nice! When I saw that Not Ketchup was one of the sponsor, I might have shrieked in glee. Maybe.

And our generous sponsors are also offering prizes to our readers. So, don't forget to check out the prizes and enter the giveaway from our sponsors: my intro to #BBQWeek post!

Back to Erika...she blogs at In Erika's Kitchen, but more importantly for this post, she created and founded Not Ketchup. She recently introduced a line of products that's sweetened only with real fruit. The sauces are gluten-free, vegan, low sugar, low carb, Paleo-friendly, Whole30-friendly, diabetic-friendly, and contain absolutely no added sugar. Now that is a blessing in a world of products that have added sugar hidden everywhere.

And I am thrilled to share that I have met Erika in real life; she is so inspiring. So, I am always happy to support her, work with her products, and share them with my readers. To kick off #BBQWeek, I opted to make Double Blueberry Bison Burgers.

Double Blueberry Bison Burgers

So, the double blueberries are Not Ketchup's Blueberry White Pepper Sauce* - in the meat, on the bun, and with the fries! - and my Quick Pickled Blueberries that add such a delightful pop of flavor and brightness.

Ingredients serves 4

Burgers

• 1 pound ground bison (you can substitute for whatever ground meat you prefer)
• 1 T minced garlic
• 2 T ketchup (I used Not Ketchup's No Sugar Added Blueberry White Pepper Sauce*)
• 1 t fresh thyme leaves

For Serving

• buns (I used Francese rolls), toasted
• organic pea shoots
• fresh mozzarella, thickly sliced
• quick pickled blueberries
• ketchup (I used Not Ketchup's No Sugar Added Blueberry White Pepper Sauce*)

On the Side

• Oven-Roasted Murasaki Wedge Fries

Procedure

Burgers

Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Mix until well-combined. Form the meat into 4 equal size patties, or 8 smaller patties. Place on a parchment-lined plate and set aside until ready to cook. Cook, as desired, on a grill or on the stove with grill pan or griddle.

To Serve
Toast the buns in the oven. Add a smear of ketchup to the bottom bun and place a patty on top.

Layer burger with sliced mozzarella, fresh pea shoots, pickled onions and blueberries.

Enjoy immediately!
