I don’t usually eat a lot of potato salad, but somehow, my mom always made it worthwhile. People said she made the BEST potato salad and I gotta say, they were not wrong. I kid you not! She actually sold it! I have never been a huge fan of potato salad, but this recipe is probably the only one I’ll eat! So, here we are with another one of my favorite childhood recipes. It’s not exactly like Mom’s, but it’s pretty darn good! This is the only way I make it and the only way my family eats it.
Ya’ll listen…If you have never had a cowboy burger, then you are missing out! Cowboy burgers are just like regular burgers plus the bonus editions of cheddar cheese, bacon, and fried onion rings. My cowboy burger has a delicious bacon jam, because why not? These burgers are so juicy and full of so much darn flavor! Hands down, my favorite go-to burger of all time.
The Ingredients
So what’s in a cowboy burger exactly? Let’s break it down
Bacon – Diced smoked bacon gets mixed into the ground beef patties. This gives the burgers a nice smokey flavor while also adding more flavor to the burgers.
Cheddar Cheese – I use shredded cheddar cheese both inside the patties and on top, Yes, I am extra 🙂
Onion Rings – Thinly Sliced and buttermilk battered yellow onions are deep fried to golden perfection.
Jalapeño – Now for some heat. I use about half of a fresh jalapeño pepper minced for a nice kick.
Chipotle Mayo – Could this burger get any spicer? I make chipotle mayo sauce. I blend together mayo, smoked paprika, a bit of chipotle pepper, garlic and onion powders, and sugar.

Filling Ingredients
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3 egg yolks
½ cup fresh lime juice
2 tsp lime zest (reserve 1 tsp for garnish)
¼ cup sugar
Crust Ingredients
1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers (about 12 crackers)
3 oz melted butter (6 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 pinch of kosher salt
For The Whipped Topping
½ cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Gather the ingredients to make the crust. Crush your graham crackers using a food processor, blender or by simply placing in a bag and crushing with a cup. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, sugars and melted butter. Mix well with a fork.
Using your fingers to mold the crust, place your graham cracker mixture into a greased pie pan. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow crust to cool on a wire rack.
Gather the ingredients to make the filling. Juice the limes and set aside.
In a bowl, using an electric mixer, whisk the egg yolks for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Then add the ¼ cup sugar and sweetened condensed milk and beat together on high speed for 3 minutes. Add in your lime zest and juice and mix on low speed until combined.
Pour your pie filling into the graham cracker crust and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until pie has just set. Remove from oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before placing in the refrigerator to chill.
Using a bowl with an electric mixer, add the cold cream, sugar and vanilla and whip until almost stiff. **Turn your bowl upside down. If it doesn’t move, it’s ready. Spread evenly on top of the cooled pie. You may also place in a piping bag or a sandwich bag and cut the tip.
Garnish with additional lime zest and enjoy!

Notes
For best results, allow the pie to chill for at least 3 hours or even overnight before serving.
