Cheyenne Burger

I admit it, my roots are just about as city slicker as they come. Still, there’s a part of me that identifies with the cowboy mentality of the West. I once went to a rodeo in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and one of the things that I took away from that experience was the idea for this burger; it just seems like perfect rodeo fare. While in my mind’s eye the Cheyenne burger is best devoured at that rodeo or maybe while sitting around a campfire, I think its layers of smoked cheddar, spicy barbecue sauce, and crispy fried onions would bring out the cowboy in anyone, anywhere. Feeling extra adventurous? Add a couple slices of crisp bacon to the mix.
