Ingredients

  • For the burger:
  • 2 pounds ground beef 80/20
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup jalapeno minced
  • ¼ cup onion minced
  • Sauce:
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup mayo
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Sriracha to taste
  • Toppings:
  • 4 thick slices of pepper jack cheese
  • 2 cups hash browns cooked crispy
  • 8 slices thick bacon fried crispy
  • 4 eggs fried over easy
  • 4 buns Buttered and toasted on the inside.

Instructions

  • Combine the meat mixture, and divide into 4 equal-sized patties. These are big burgers, but they will shrink up, so make them about ½ inch larger than the bun to accommodate for that. Using the “dimpling effect” push the center of the burger down about 1/2” shallower than the edges, to keep it from puffing up in the middle, and it also helps to cook the middle at the same pace. Place the burgers in the fridge until you are ready to grill them.
  • Mix up sauce ingredients. Set aside.
  • Butter the insides of your buns. Cook hash browns and bacon to desired crispness. Set aside.
  • Set a gas grill at 450 degrees. Place the burgers on the hot grates and grill for about 3 minutes before flipping. Grill for a minute or two more, add cheese and pull burgers when the burger temperature reaches your desired temperature doneness.
  • Place the buns onto the grill over indirect heat to toast the insides. Fry your eggs.
  • Build your burgers and enjoy!

Notes

You can use whatever kind of cheese you like best on your burgers. If you want you can also add some avocado slices too.
These are BIG burgers! If you make them as they are here, make sure that you get a bun that will accomedate it! No wimpy burger buns for this one!
