Cooking for 4 people

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb. ground beef (preferably an 80/20 blend)
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper
  • 8 slices bacon (cooked)
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 0.25 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • wax paper
  • baking sheet pan

Hash Brown Buns

  • 8 cup shredded hash brown potatoes (thawed)
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 4 tsp. of your favorite BBQ dry rub seasoning
  • canola oil or peanut oil for frying

1 Food Prep

First, add the hash brown bun mixture to a medium mixing bowl and blend well.

Next, lay a sheet of wax paper on a baking sheet pan, and set a 3 ½” ring mold on the wax paper and pack approximately 1 cup of hash brown mixture into the mold to create a 1” thick disk. Repeat until you have 8 disks.

Then, place the sheet pan in the freezer for 15–20 minutes until the disks are firm but not fully frozen.

Finally, divide the beef into 4 patties and season liberally on both sides with kosher salt and pepper.

2 Grill Prep

Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets

Method: Two-Zone Method

Temp: 400°F (Medium Heat)

3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

  • In a medium saucepan, add oil (approximately 4” deep), and heat it over medium-high heat.

  • When the oil begins to shimmer, gently add 2 hash brown buns to the oil and fry for about 3–4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (note: hash browns will float to the top of the oil when completely cooked).

  • Remove the hash brown buns from the oil and set on paper towels to drain. Repeat the cooking process until all 8 hash brown buns are fried.
  • Next, grill the beef patties on the grate for 3–4 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F on a digital meat thermometer.

  • Add a slice of cheese to each during the last minute of cooking.
  • To assemble the burgers, place patties on a fried hash brown bun, add 2 slices of cooked bacon to each, drizzle with BBQ sauce, then top with the remaining hash brown patties.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
