COWBOY COFFEE BURGERS
Meat and coffee, sounds like a dream come true right? Well you’re not wrong, these really will have your guests begging for more. AND if they weren’t epic enough with the flavour combinations in the meat, we team the patties up with squares of bacon lattice and a warm BBQ sauce which will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. Mmmmm, I’m drooling.
The quantities in this recipe will make 10 really good size burgers which you can either double up or fly solo for the weak at heart. If you ask me, bigger is better, but hey, just saying.
For the Beef Patties
- 1.5 kg Minced beef at least 20% fat
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp Cowboy Coffee Multi Purpose rub
For the bacon Lattice
- 2 packs streaky bacon
For the topping
- 5-10 Burger Buns
- grated cheese or cheese squares
- Your favourite BBQ sauce
- grilled onions, lettuce, jalapenos etc
- Prepare the patties for grilling by adding the Cowboy Coffee, salt and pepper to the mince in large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with your hands and portion out the mince into 10 x 150g balls.
- Use a burger press to make your balls into ten uniform burgers.
- Create a large square lattice of bacon by weaving in and out strips of bacon into a lattice weave.
- Get the bacon lattice on the grill over indirect heat to prevent any grease fires from occurring.
- After the bacon has been cooking for about ten minutes, add the burgers to the grill over direct heat.
- Flip the burgers once grill marks are achieved on one side and top with burger cheese. Close the lid to allow the cheese to melt and the underside to cook.
- Whilst the burgers are cooking, melt butter in a cast iron pan and add diced onions on a medium heat until translucent.
- Once the bacon lattice is crispy, remove from the grill. Cut into squares the same size as the burger cheese adding a square on to each burger.
- Assemble the burgers as singles or doubles, top with barbecue sauce and enjoy with your favourite sides.
