Cowboy Burger

We are in the full swing of summer. What have you started grilling? Things have been so hectic I haven’t had the chance to fire up the grill as much as I would have liked to by this point. Besides this Cowboy Burger, the only other time was for my Bruschetta Turkey Burger. As my dear Grandmother used to say, ‘that’s a crying shame’. Ha. Loved that phrase of hers. But seriously, it’s July and I’ve only grilled up a couple of things? Something has got to change. Quickly.

I digress. Back to this delicious burger. A little while ago I went in to Whole Foods to pick up a few things. I don’t know if you’ve got one near you, but my closest location is nearly 45 minutes away. Super sad considering how much I enjoy the store. Is it expensive? Yes. Do they offer great quality products? Yes! So while I don’t make many trips, I do occasionally like to splurge and make a trip down. As I was perusing the meat counter trying to decide what I wanted a few of their pre-made burgers stood out to me. This Cowboy Burger being one of them. The easiest thing to do would have been to buy the pre-made patty right? I decided I wanted to make them myself! The result was delicious!
