Rodeo Burger

1. To a large mixing bowl, add ground beef, hamburger seasoning, seasoned salt, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined.
2. Divide the ground beef mixture into four equal portions (4 ounces). Shape each portion into a thin patty, about 5 inches in diameter, or slightly larger than the hamburger buns to allow for shrinkage during cooking. Press a shallow indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging.
3. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.*
4. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. For medium-done burgers, the internal temperature should be 145°F-150°F. For medium-well, cook to 150°F-165°F.
5. Just before removing the burgers from the heat, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
6. While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a separate pan or in the oven.

Assembly

1. Spread a generous amount of cowboy butter on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
2. Top with a tomato slice, 2 cheeseburger patties, 3 onion rings, half of the crumbled bacon, and jalapeno slices. Drizzle with barbecue sauce.
3. Add any garnishes you desire. Top with a bun and serve warm.
