Instructions
- Start by preheating the smoker or grill to 500°.
- Season the burgers well on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Next, place the burgers onto the grill and cook them for 4 to 6 minutes per side.
- In the meantime, bread the onions and fry them until golden brown. Set them aside to drain.
- With about 2 minutes left in the cooking process, add the cheese to the burgers.
- In addition, add the bacon to the grill to reheat and crisp up.
- Set the burgers aside to rest for 3 to 4 minutes.
- In the meantime, brush the buns with melted unsalted butter.
- Toast them in a pan over medium heat or on a griddle at 350° for 2 to 3 minutes or until toasted.
- Layer on the burger as follows: bottom toasted bun, burger, 1 to 2 slices of crisp cooked bacon sliced in half, ¼ cup of pickled jalapeños, crispy tobacco onions, 2 to 3 tablespoons of BBQ sauce, and finally the top toasted bun.
- I like to serve this alongside some additional BBQ sauce.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: These cowboy burgers are meant to be eaten as soon as they are finished cooking. You can, however, prepare all the toppings 1 day ahead of time.
- How to Store: Keep the meat, buns, and toppings separate and covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The cowboy burgers will freeze well, covered for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating and serving.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired number of cowboy burgers to a 13×9 casserole dish and cover with foil or a lid. Bake in the oven at 350° for 8-12 minutes or until warm.
- If you don’t like spicy food, you can purchase pre-made mild nacho chiles instead of pickled jalapeños.
- To make the BBQ sauce creamy, mix ½ cup of the sauce with ½ cup of mayonnaise.
- Feel free to experiment using different aged cheddars.
- You can add as many or as few toppings as you like.
- The recipe prep and cooking times are based on the buns, pickled jalapeños, and fried onions being ready.
