Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 blend
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 4 tablespoons barbecue sauce
  • 4 slices crispy bacon
  • 1 cup fried onion strings
  • 1 cup lettuce shredded
  • 1 large tomato sliced
  • Pickles optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  • Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty.
  • Grill or cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
  • Flip the patties, add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  • While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns until golden brown.
  • Assemble each burger by spreading 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce on the bottom bun, placing the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, followed by bacon, fried onion strings, lettuce, tomato, and pickles if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Cowboy Burger!

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add jalapeños or a spicy barbecue sauce to the burger.
  • Try using turkey or plant-based patties for a lighter or vegetarian option.
