Triple Hubcap Burger Recipe

Gut Bomb Challenge: Ken Dempsey And The Cotham's Quadruple Hubcap Challenge

1. 1

   Pattie Preparation

   Season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide into three equal portions and gently form into round patties about 3/4 inch thick.

2. 2

   Preheat and Oil

   Preheat a heavy skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with a thin layer of neutral oil to prevent sticking.

3. 3

   Cook Patties and Melt Cheese

   Cook patties for about 3-4 minutes per side. During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, place a cheddar slice on each patty to melt.

4. 4

   Toast Buns

   Cut brioche buns and toast the cut sides in the same pan until golden and slightly crisp, about 1-2 minutes.

5. 5

   Assemble Base

   Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and a ring of red onion.

6. 6

   First Patty Layer

   Place the first patty on the bottom layer. Add pickle slices and a drizzle of ketchup.

7. 7

   Second Patty Layer

   Add the second patty with cheese on top of the first layer. Drizzle with barbecue sauce and top with more pickle slices if desired.

8. 8

   Third Patty Layer

   Top with the final cheese-topped patty and another light drizzle of barbecue sauce.

9. 9

   Final Assembly

   Cap with the toasted top bun. Press gently to compress the towering stack so the burger holds together.

    Serve

    Serve immediately, ideally with fries or potato wedges. For easier handling, secure with skewers if needed.
