Belt Busting Cowboy Burger
This Cowboy Burger is piled high with crispy bacon, thick onion rings, melted cheese, and smoky BBQ sauce. A true gourmet burger recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground sirloin
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground chile de arbol or cayenne pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon A-1 sauce
- 1 teaspoon black pepper fresh ground
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 8 onion rings your favorite
- 1 cup favorite barbecue sauce
- 4 strips thick cut bacon cooked
- 4 slices mild cheddar cheese
- lettuce
- tomato sliced
- 4 big hamburger buns
Instructions
- Preheat grill to high.
- Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl. Mix with hands to combine. Do not over mix.
- Form beef into 4 patties, slightly larger than your bun. Make a slight indentation in the center of the burger to prevent it from doming up in the center. The indentation will rise as your burger cooks.
- Grill until golden brown and slightly charred (about 3 minutes), turning once (cook for 3 minutes on the other side for medium). Try not to press down on your burger with a spatula. It will cause the juices to escape and will create a dry burger!
- Toast buns on low or indirect heat.
- Place lettuce and tomato slices on bun, top with burger, cheese, bacon, and 1/4 cup barbecue sauce. Add 2 onion rings. Serve and enjoy!
