Hot Ones Smoky Serrano BBQ Cowboy Burger
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
4 brioche or potato hamburger buns
8 slices of bacon
1 bottle Hot Ones Smoky Serrano BBQ Sauce
4 slices of cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
Crispy fried onions (for topping)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Cook the bacon in a skillet or oven until crisp.
Drain and set aside.
Gently divide the ground beef into four equal portions and form patties slightly wider than your buns.
Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Grill or pan fry the patties over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, brush the patties liberally with the Hot Ones Smoky Serrano BBQ Sauce, then top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover.
While the cheese melts, lightly toast the hamburger buns.
Build the burger starting with the bottom bun, then a layer with a spoonful of the Smoky Serrano BBQ Sauce, the patty, 2 slices of crispy bacon, and a generous sprinkle of crispy fried onions.
