Red Robin Cowboy Ranch Double Burger Copycat Recipe (Taste Test)
Red Robin just launched this Western-style burger and I had to test it! Crispy onion straws add incredible crunch, smoky BBQ sauce and creamy ranch create the perfect sauce combo, and melted American cheese ties everything together.

3. Toast the sesame seed bun cut-side down in a skillet with butter until golden-brown, about 60–90 seconds — Red Robin tip: this creates a crispy-edged bun that stays sturdy under saucy toppings.
