I guess I was inspired by the ground beef thread because it’s probably been years since I bought ground beef. Anyhow, yesterday I bought a pound of ground buffalo meat and used about half of it to make a burger, fried with a bunch of chopped vegetables. I still have the other half. And I am getting hungry. Ideas? ---

A half pound isn’t enough. Bison more. ---

I dunno but “Starving but strong” is looking for stuff to put in bean soup. ---

Personally, I’d make tacos or burritos out of that. ---

Heh. Yes, I did. :o With more vegetable-rice stir fry. But those Persian kebabs reminded me of Turkish kebabs I used to love but haven’t had in ages, so thanks! Tonight I realised that ground meat is, in fact, _not_ overrated. And quite tasty and versatile, too! ---

Buffalo burgers are great. Just make some nice hamburgers. ---

I used to buy ground buffalo in the grocery store once in a while, made great burgers for the two of us. If I had a half pound, I would mix it with an equal amount of good hamburger of some sort and make all new burgers, half buffalo, half ground round/chuck/sirloin, whatever. ---

If I had a half pound, I would mix it with an equal amount of good hamburger of some sort and make all new burgers, half buffalo, half ground round/chuck/sirloin, whatever. I wonder if that would be anything like beefalo. I had a friend once who was (not really but sort of for a joke between us) obsessed with beefalo after he read about it in a body building magazine. ---

My husband makes really good jerky with it in his smoker. But that’s a lot of trouble for such a small amount of meat. ---
