Hangover Breakfast Burger Stack (Printer-Friendly)

Burger meets breakfast with bacon, egg, cheese, and crispy hash browns stacked high.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Burger Patties

01 - 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend) mixed with finely minced jalapeños and onions
02 - 1/2 tsp kosher salt
03 - 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
04 - 1/4 tsp garlic powder

→ Toppings

05 - 4 slices pepper jack cheese
06 - 4 large eggs
07 - 8 slices thick-cut bacon
08 - 2 cups crispy hash browns, cooked

→ Burger Assembly

09 - 4 large brioche or kaiser buns
10 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

→ Hangover Sauce

11 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
12 - 2 tbsp ketchup
13 - 1 tsp sriracha, or more to taste

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Combine ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, jalapeños, and onions. Gently mix and form into oversized patties to compensate for shrinkage. Create a shallow dimple in the center of each patty.
02 - Place patties in the refrigerator to chill while preparing other components.
03 - In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and sriracha. Adjust heat level to taste and set aside.
04 - Cook hash browns in a skillet until golden and crispy. In a separate pan, cook bacon until browned and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
05 - Butter the cut sides of the buns and toast on a skillet or grill until golden brown.
06 - Preheat grill to 450°F. Cook patties for about 3 minutes per side. Place a slice of cheese on each during the last minute of cooking to melt.
07 - Fry eggs over easy so yolks remain runny. Set aside for assembly.
08 - Spread sauce on bottom bun, layer with patty and melted cheese, hash browns, bacon, fried egg, and more sauce. Top with the upper bun and serve immediately.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Use a dimple in the patty to prevent bulging during cooking and ensure even doneness.
02 - Form burger patties larger than buns to offset shrinkage on the grill.
03 - Keep all toppings prepped and ready before grilling to streamline final assembly.
