Ok seriously…what is up with all the gloomy weather here in the Northeast? I feel like I haven’t seen the sun for more than a 5 minutes stint in almost 2 weeks. Where the heck did we move? Seattle? So what do I do when I get depressed and need a little summer lovin’? Crack open the coronas and fire up the grill. You all know how I love to get my burger on so I whipped up some Cowboy Burgers, or Cowboy Up Burgers as we in Red Sox Nation like to refer to them…
There are opposite sides taken in the battle of the burger wars. It’s sort of like Color War Week at camp. There are those who believe you should only gussy up what goes on top of the burger, and those who believe you should work on the actual burger itself. I’m sort of split. So for this one, I did both. I dress up the burger’s interior and toss some good stuff on top. I like it when the burger is flavored through and through, but then I felt like it looked a little naked there on the bun so I felt bad for him and slapped on some grilled onions and mushrooms….the choice is yours, but what makes this a cowboy burger is what is on the inside. Take a looksie…
2 lbs ground beef, 85/15
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1/4 large red onion diced
2 T worcestshire sauce
1 clove garlic finely chopped
1 big T montreal steak seasoning
1/4 cup beer
3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Combine all your ingredients into a large bowl. Toss to combine with your hands just enough to incorporate all the burgers. Form patties, I usually get about 6 big burgers. Sprinkle with some olive oil and grill to desired doneness. We like ‘em medium-rare to medium. The nice thing about these burgers is that the all the ingredients help to keep them nice and moist so even if you leave them on the grill a little longer they are still nice and juicy! We just had friends over to BBQ, uh in the rain mind you, and they said these were the best grilled burgers they’d ever had. Yes they are! Giddy up, Cowboys!

YUMMY! It’s so stinkin’ HOT down here…seriously, if you are looking for less gloom, MOVE SOUTH – YIKES! But I’m thinking burgers on the grill tonight! Mine are pre-made from Whole Foods, so I can’t use your recipe…I will sprinkle the outsides with either Steak Seasoning or Pampered Chef Southwest seasoning depending on my mood.

Do you have any good recipes for turkey burgers? I don’t eat red meat (or bacon) and though I know I could substitute, it’s not quite the same.
Wait – do you take requests? Is it rude that I just come over here and demand some recipes?
