Beef Patties

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Beef Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Use your hands to mix until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making sure they are about ¾ inch thick.

  3. 3

    Chill the Patties

    Place the formed patties on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Cook the Patties

    Once the grill is hot, place the beef patties on it. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 6

    Add Cheese and Bacon

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and top with a slice of bacon. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Cowboys

  1. 7

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a cooked patty with melted cheese and bacon. Add pickles and a drizzle of BBQ sauce on top. Cover with the top half of the bun.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve the Cowboys hot with your favorite sides.
