This is a great burger with homemade BBQ sauce and shoestring onion rings. I also added bacon and smoked cheddar to this burger. Any cowboy would love that!

Makes 4 burgers

Ingredients

2 lbs of ground Angus chuck (80% lean)
8 slices of smoked cheddar
1/2 cup of BBQ sauce
8 slices of crisp cooked bacon
4 soft burger buns
1 portion of shoestring onion rings
salt and pepper

Instructions

• Shape 4 burgers, 1/2 lbs each. Season with salt and pepper

• Assemble the burger
• Add bacon to the button bun. Add patties with cheese
• Slather BBQ sauce on each burger (save some for the top bun)
• Add onion rings

Enjoy.
