This was super easy, pretty fast and really delicious. Highly recommend. It’s Thanksgiving Eve, I had farm raised bison thawed and was too lazy to fire up the grill. Happened to have all 7 ingredients and this is a do over.

Question: Your instructions say to cook the bison with garlic and onions, but your ingredient list doesn’t include garlic. How much garlic do you add? Sliced, pressed, minced or chopped?
Thanks!
Audrey says
Hi Susan, I meant the garlic powder when I said garlic. Sprinkle it over the bison.
