# Ingredients:

→ Beef Patties

01 - 900 grams 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 - 40 grams jalapeño, minced
06 - 40 grams yellow onion, minced

→ Hangover Sauce

07 - 60 millilitres ketchup
08 - 60 millilitres mayonnaise
09 - 15–30 millilitres sriracha sauce, to taste

→ Toppings

10 - 4 thick slices pepper jack cheese
11 - 320 grams frozen hash browns, cooked until crisp
12 - 8 slices thick-cut bacon, fried until crispy
13 - 4 large eggs, fried over easy
14 - 4 large hamburger buns
15 - Butter for toasting buns

# Steps:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, minced jalapeño, and onion. Mix just until evenly incorporated. Divide into four portions and shape into patties slightly larger than the buns. Press a shallow dimple in the center of each patty to promote even cooking. Refrigerate until grilling.
02 - Stir together ketchup, mayonnaise, and desired amount of sriracha in a small bowl until completely smooth. Taste and adjust heat level as preferred. Set aside.
03 - Cook hash browns in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until golden and crisp. Fry bacon until deep golden and crisp; drain on kitchen paper. Butter the cut sides of all hamburger buns. Keep all prepared toppings warm.
04 - Preheat grill to 230°C. Place patties on the grates and sear for 3 minutes undisturbed. Flip and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Top each patty with a slice of pepper jack cheese and continue grilling until cheese melts and desired doneness is reached.
05 - Arrange buttered buns cut-side down over indirect grill heat to toast until golden. Meanwhile, fry eggs in a skillet over medium heat until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
06 - Generously spread hangover sauce on both halves of each toasted bun. Place a cheeseburger patty on each bottom bun, followed by a layer of crisp hash browns, two slices of bacon, and a fried egg. Top with the second bun and serve immediately while all components are hot.

# Notes & Tips:

01 - Select sturdy, oversized burger buns to support the substantial fillings.
02 - The central dimple in each patty prevents doming and encourages uniform cooking.
03 - For a milder or different flavour, substitute any cheese you prefer or add sliced avocado.
04 - Maintain all components at serving temperature to preserve optimal texture and taste.
