1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic granules

For the Burger Stack:

2 tbsp plain flour
Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Prepare the Burger Patties:

Place the beef mince into a large bowl. Add the salt, pepper, smoked paprika and garlic granules. Mix everything gently with clean hands until combined.
800 g beef mince, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic granules
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a thin burger patty slightly larger than the buns. The burgers shrink slightly during cooking.
Place the patties into the fridge for 10 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.

Cook the Hash Browns:

Preheat the oven according to the packet instructions for the hash browns.
4 medium hash browns
Place the hash browns onto a baking tray and cook until crisp and golden. Turn them halfway through cooking for even colour.

Prepare the Crispy Onions:

Place the sliced onion into a bowl and sprinkle over the flour. Toss well until lightly coated.
1 large onion, 2 tbsp plain flour
Heat a shallow layer of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the onions in batches until golden and crisp. This usually takes around 4 to 5 minutes.
Vegetable oil
Transfer the onions onto kitchen paper to remove excess oil.

Cook the Bacon:

Add the bacon slices to a hot frying pan. Cook until crisp on both sides. Remove and keep warm.
8 slices streaky bacon

Make the Spicy Mayonnaise:

Mix the mayonnaise, sriracha, ketchup and smoked paprika in a small bowl until smooth.
6 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tsp sriracha sauce, 1 tsp tomato ketchup, ½ tsp smoked paprika

Cook the Burgers:

Heat a frying pan or griddle over a medium-high heat.
Cook the burger patties for around 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Avoid pressing the burgers while cooking because this removes the juices.
4 large sesame seed burger buns
Place a slice of cheddar onto each burger during the final minute of cooking. Allow the cheese to melt fully.
8 slices mature cheddar cheese

Toast the Buns:

Slice the sesame buns in half and lightly toast them in a dry pan or under the grill for 1 to 2 minutes.

Build the Full Breakfast Burger:

Spread spicy mayonnaise onto the bottom half of each bun.
Add sliced pickles first. Place one cheesy burger on top followed by 2 slices of bacon and one hash brown.
12 medium pickles
Add the second cheesy burger next. Top with the remaining bacon and a generous handful of crispy onions.
Finish with the sesame bun top.

Serving:
