Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 375°F (190°C). Prepare the ingredients by chopping the lettuce, frying the bacon, and laying out the hamburger buns.
Once the grill is ready, place your burger patties on the grates. Grill them for about 6 minutes per side, flipping once.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt. Close the grill lid for about 30 seconds.
While the cheese melts, pop the hamburger buns on the grill for about a minute, cut side down.
Assemble your Grilled Cowboy Burgers with the cheese-topped patty, bacon, lettuce, barbecue sauce, and crispy French fried onions.
Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the juicy Grilled Cowboy Burgers.
