Hosting a Bison BBQ: Tips and Recipe Ideas

When the temperatures start to drop and the leaves turn golden, there’s nothing quite like coming home to a warm, hearty meal. Fall is the season for slow-cooked roasts, rich stews, homemade burgers, and comfort food that brings everyone around the table.

If you’re looking to switch up your usual fall recipes, bison is worth adding to the menu. It has a rich, slightly sweet flavour, works well in everything from weeknight dinners to special occasion meals, and offers a lean alternative to traditional beef.

Here are some of the top reasons to choose bison from True Grit for your cozy fall meals.

More people are paying attention to where their food comes from, how it’s produced, and what impact it has on the environment. When it comes to choosing meat, those questions matter.
