HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN FREE COWBOY BURGERS:

To make the Onion Straws:

Prepare Onions: Cut onion into thin rings or strips. Add gluten free flour to a large bowl. Mix in salt and pepper. Add dairy free milk to another large bowl.
Coat Onions in Gluten Free Flour: Dip onions in dairy free milk and then toss in the gluten free flour to evenly coat.
Heat Oil: Heat olive oil on medium-high heat in a large pan. You will need around 1 1/2 inches of oil in the pan to cover the onions completely when frying.
Fry Onions: Once the oil is hot, add onions to the pan and fry for 4-5 minutes until crispy. Use a large strainer spoon to remove the onions from the hot oil. Place onions on a plate with paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Continue this process until all onions are fried.

To make the BBQ Mayo:

Mix ingredients: Mix together mayo and BBQ sauce until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

To make the Burgers:

Mix together ingredients: Add beef, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, coconut sugar, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Mix to evenly incorporate all of the ingredients into the beef.
Form patties: Shape the beef mixture into 4 patties.
Cook burgers: In a large skillet over medium-high heat (or grill), cook the burgers for 4-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature has reached 160°F.
Assemble burgers: Place burgers on a gluten free bun and top with BBQ mayo, bacon, onion straws, and lettuce.
