Rodeo Burger

I loved Rodeo Burgers from Burger King growing up; they were so simple yet delicious. Something about the combination of barbeque sauce, onion rings, a flame-grilled beef patty, and American cheese is just so damn good. The OG will always be good, but we can make it better. I will make it better by adding some bacon, butter leaf lettuce, and the best part, homemade chipotle barbeque sauce that is sweet, tangy, and spicy.

STEP 1: The sauce

1. Put all these ingredients into a blender or food processor

2. Half a can of adobo peppers with sauce.

3. charred serrano pepper, habanero, and half an onion (char in a pan with a little oil)

4. 1 tsp cumin

5. 1 tsp paprika

6. 1 tbsp salt

7. 1 tbsp olive oil

8. The juice of 3 limes

9. 1 tbsp sugar

10. 1 tsp oregano

11. 1 bunch of cilantro (top half only)

12. mix in 2 cups of your favorite barbeque sauce ( I put Kinders Extra Hot because I like mine spicy) ;)

Step 2: Cooking

1. First, cook the bacon. Put your pieces of bacon in a cold skillet. Set your heat to medium. Let it cook slowly until crispy, and then place it on a plate with a paper towel on the bottom. It will slowly crisp up as the oil dries up.

2. Wipe off the same pan, turn on the heat to medium high, and place your patties on the pan for 3-4 minutes on each side (it depends on how you like your burgers, personally, I want a medium to well done)

3. When your burger is almost done, place your cheese on top. I’d recommend going with just yellow or pepper jack cheese.

4. Toast your buns with a bit of butter spread on them in the pan

5. Also, air fry your favorite brand of onion rings (follow the box instructions)

6. Place aside for assembly.

Step 3:Assembly

Once everything is ready, we will assemble the burger in this order.

1. bottom bun

2. barbeque sauce spread on the bottom bun

3. butter leaf lettuce

4. burger patty

5. bacon

6. a dollop of barbecue sauce

7. onion rings

8. top bun
