Cowboy Burger Recipe
Description
This Cowboy Burger blends 2 pounds of ground beef with diced applewood bacon and freshly grated jalapeños for a spicy smoky flavor. The mixture is seasoned with a commercial burger seasoning and formed into eight patties slightly wider than the bun. Grilling over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side cooks the patties with a slightly pink center but not raw due to the bacon content. Immediately after grilling, a slice of Habanero Jack or sharp cheddar cheese is placed on each patty to melt slightly from residual heat.
The assembled burgers feature brioche buns layered with lettuce, tomato slices, dill pickles, fried onions, and barbecue sauce to add crispness, acidity, sweetness, and crunch, complementing the spicy, rich burger patties. This combination delivers a satisfying mix of textures and bold flavors for a classic Americana-style burger.
Leftover patties store well when kept separate from other ingredients in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The recipe notes also describe steps for freezing cooked patties and reheating them gently in the microwave wrapped with a damp paper towel to retain moisture.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef Simply Nature Organic Grass Fed brand
- 8 ounce Bacon diced, Appleton Farms thick sliced
- 1-3 whole jalapeños grated, fresh
- 1 tablespoon burger grill seasoning Stonemill Amazing brand
- 8 whole Brioche buns Specially Selected brand
- 8 lices Habanero Jack cheese or Extra Sharp Cheddar, Happy Farms Preferred
- ½ cup barbecue sauce Burman's Texas Style
- 1 cup fried onion Chef's Cupboard brand, French fried
- 8 leaves butter lettuce
- 8-16 lices tomato
- 1 cup dill pickles sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium heat. Set out a large bowl. Add the ground beef, diced bacon, grated jalapeños, and Burger Grill Seasoning. Mix by hand until well combined.
- Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Press each portion into a patty slightly wider than the buns.
- Place the patties on the grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side. The insides can be slightly pink in the middle, but not medium-rare because of the bacon. The moment the burgers come off the grill, place a slice of cheese over the top of each patty, so they start to melt.
- Stack the burgers on the buns with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, barbecue sauce, and fried onions on top. Serve warm.
Notes
- Store leftover cooked burger patties separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For freezing, cool patties completely, wrap individually in plastic wrap, then store together in a sealed bag for up to 3 months.
- Reheat frozen patties by microwaving briefly wrapped in a damp paper towel to preserve moisture.
