# Ingredients:
→ Burger Patties

900 g ground beef (80/20 blend)
02 -
1.5 teaspoons fine sea salt
03 -
1.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
04 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 -
60 g jalapeño, minced
06 -
40 g yellow onion, minced
→ Hangover Sauce
07 -
60 ml ketchup
08 -
60 ml mayonnaise
09 -
15–30 ml sriracha sauce, to taste
→ Toppings
10 -
4 thick slices pepper jack cheese
11 -
300 g frozen hash browns, cooked until golden and crispy
12 -
8 slices thick-cut bacon, fried crispy
13 -
4 large eggs
14 -
4 large hamburger buns
15 -
Butter, as needed for toasting buns
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, minced jalapeño, and onion. Mix gently until ingredients are evenly distributed. Divide into four equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than the buns, pressing a slight dimple in the center of each patty to prevent bulging. Refrigerate until required.
02 -
Combine ketchup, mayonnaise, and sriracha in a small bowl. Stir until smooth, adjusting sriracha to preferred spice level. Set aside.
03 -
Cook hash browns according to package instructions until golden and crisp. Fry bacon slices until crisp. Butter the cut sides of the hamburger buns. Reserve all toppings, keeping warm if possible.
04 -
Preheat the grill to 230°C. Grill patties over direct heat for 3 minutes without disturbing. Flip and grill for 1–2 minutes longer. Top each patty with a slice of pepper jack cheese and continue grilling until melted and burgers are cooked to preferred doneness.
05 -
Place buttered buns cut-side down on the cooler side of the grill and toast until golden. Simultaneously, fry eggs in a nonstick pan over medium heat until whites are just set and yolks remain runny (over easy).
06 -
Spread the hangover sauce on both halves of each bun. On the bottom bun, layer with a cheese-topped burger patty, crispy hash browns, and bacon. Top with a fried egg, close with the upper bun, and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Pressing a dimple into each raw burger patty prevents them from puffing up and helps them cook evenly.
02 -
For extra heat, mix diced jalapeño into the sauce or add pickled jalapeños to the toppings.
