1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy. Remove them from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess grease.
2
Prepare the Burger Patties (Optional)
If using burger patties, shape ground beef into two patties. Season with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry the patties over medium-high heat until they reach your desired doneness, usually about 4-5 minutes per side.
3
Melt the Cheese
In the last minute of cooking the patties, add ½ cup of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cover the skillet or grill to melt the cheese.

4
Assemble the Cowboy
On the bottom half of each burger bun (if using), place a patty with melted cheese. Layer on the crispy bacon, followed by onion straws. Drizzle BBQ sauce generously over the top. Add pickles, lettuce, and tomato slices as desired.
5
Top It Off
Place the top half of the burger bun over the assembled ingredients. Press down gently to secure everything in place.

6
Serve the Cowboy
Serve immediately while hot, with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
