Has anyone ever tried Bison?

I don't eat red meats so I'm kind of useless but we've bought Bison burgers before and my husband thought they were ok, he still said he'd prefer a really good beef burger over the Bison but that it was still decent.

I like it as well as beef.

Yes. We've replaced beef in our house with bison and venison. Much leaner and very tasty. Because it is so much leaner it doesn't really make a good burger. It does make excellent meat loaf when a little extra egg white is used. It's also wonderful for tacos or spaghetti or chili.

No.

My mom likes Bison...I can't afford it! LOL..Its over 8.00 a pound, and sorry, but with a family of 5, that's not happening!!

Have been eating Bison for 4-5 years. Since it's quite a bit leaner you need to be a little more careful cooking the steaks and roasts as medium rare to medium is about as far as you want to go with it. Use it as a substitute for any beef product. We have a butcher shop here that only sells Bison, so it makes it very easy to get. I have even tried a smoked version that was a replacement for pork back bacon.

you're absolutely right. wild game is all pretty much that way. super lean, so it can dry out really easily and get tough. once it starts changing color on the outside is right about the time it's probably done inside. like good barbecue, you want to cook venison low and slow. when done, you want it to have a strip of pink, which will often go away after it rests off-heat for a few minutes.

since there is no fat in the meat, you do have to add some to cook it, though. generally, I use a small amount pork suet. which sounds bad but, remember, there's little to no fat in the meat to start off with. as far as meat goes, venison is about the best you can eat. and, as long as it is prepared correctly -- which does take some practice to get right -- it tastes amazing.

I eat bison quite often. I like the steaks, and also cut it up for chili. It has a richer taste than beef, and is very healthy.

YES! And now I want to go get some!! I love Bison burgers!!

LOVE Bison.

Bison is good, a lot saltier then beef, but leaner.

I've had it one time and man is it good!!! it's sweeter taste than hamburger and it's better for you. Was wanting some yesterday lol, but didn't have any lol

If I could afford it I would buy it instead of beef for almost everything. I've had tenderloins and ribeyes and have used the ground meat for tacos and spaghetti sauce. My cousin shot one a few years ago and I ended up with some of the ground meat. It was really good.

Love it! Also, moose. Drier but hey, you're supposed to get healthy oils in anyway, so add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and you're good. :-)

I love it, although it is expensive around 8 dollars a pound. It has less calories than a turkey burger about 160 for 4 oz. And depending on the cooking method possibly less. I think they hold flavor better than beef somewhat.

I have eaten it and it is really good!!
