Montana Cajun Burger 

Ingredients:
Hamburger Patties
Cajun seasoning
Barbecue Sauce (honey hickory mixed with mesquite is to DIE for!)
Thick sliced Bacon
Cheddar Cheese (REAL cheese, not "pasteurized cheese product")
Onion Rings

Make your favorite burger recipe. I like to add garlic, minced onion, and a host of seasonings to my hamburger. I also add an egg and some oatmeal and smoosh it all together and then form it in to 1/4 pound patties.

Cook the patties as usual. Sprinkle with cajun seasoning. If barbecuing, add light layers of the BBQ sauce and grill slowly to prevent burning. When cooked to desired doneness, set aside and keep warm.

Deep fry (or bake) your breaded onion rings.

To assemble, layer on top of the patty: cheese, barbecue sauce, onion ring, other toppings as desired: lettuce, onion, pickle tomato, etc.

Serve with a side of fries, gems, or onion rings. Or, if you are at a barbecue, potato salad, macaroni salad or watermelon!
