    Mix 1.5 lbs of ground bison meat with 3 minced garlic cloves. Shape the mixture into 4 patties.
  3. Step 3 - 🔥🍔🧀

    In a large bowl, mix 1 shredded small red cabbage, 1 julienned small green apple, and 2 julienned carrots together. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp of honey and 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar, then pour this dressing over the slaw and mix until it's well-coated.

    To assemble the burgers, place each patty on a sliced brioche bun, top with the caramelized onions, then cover with the other half of the bun. Serve the burgers alongside the slaw.
