Cowboy Burger

Ingredients:

• 8 slices Farmington Bacon, cooked
• 1 1/2 lb. (80/20) ground beef
• Marcum Gourmet Sizzling Burger Seasoning Rub, as needed
• 4 slices Coburn Farms Pepper Jack Cheese
• 1/2 cup Fairhill Farms French Fried Onions
• Kurtz BBQ Sauce, as desired
• Senora Verde Sliced Jalapenos, optional
• 4 Grissom’s Hamburger Buns

Directions:

1. Cook bacon ahead of time and keep warm.
2. Divide ground beef into 4 (6-oz.) burger patties, about 4-5 inches wide. Press an indentation into center of patty to help maintain its shape during cooking.
3. Season patties on both sides with a few pinches of Sizzling Burger seasoning rub.
4. Preheat skillet or grill to high heat (400-500°F). Grease pan or grates.
5. Cook hamburgers 4-6 minutes per side or to desired doneness. The recommended internal cooking temperature for ground beef is 160°F which is a “well done” burger.
6. Remove burgers from direct heat and melt cheese slices.
7. Assemble burger patties on buns and top each with 2 slices of bacon, about 2 tablespoons of French fried onions, jalapeno slices (optional), and BBQ sauce. Enjoy!
