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.

But first, here are the other bloggers' offerings to kick-off the week!

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

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!

  1. I've never used bison because I've not really seen it in stores here. I'll have to look harder but in the meantime I'll try this with beef. I love the flavor combination. If this variety of Not Ketchup is as good as the Tangerine Hatch Chile I know it's delicious!

  4. we'll grill 3 - 4 times a week if we can gage the weather, this past week we've had so much rain that we only grilled once. Tonight we'll grill if the timing is right other wise I'll be calling for a pizza delivery. When we lived in Michigan we could grill in the rain but here in central Florida it's to risky

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
