The Winner Of The Restaurant Business Industry’s Breakfast Battle: You & Me!
Years ago this announcement about their popular Breakfast Burger made headlines:
- “When Carl’s Jr. created the Breakfast Burger over a decade ago, we became the first major hamburger [quick-service] chain to put an egg on a burger and it really was the perfect marriage of a great burger and classic breakfast items. In fact, Carl’s Jr. has always sold its entire burger line during breakfast—and they make up a significant portion of all of the meals served in the morning—so it became obvious that we needed to create a true ‘breakfast burger’ for our guests,” says Brad Haley, chief marketing officer for Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s. “While we’ve served burgers all day for a long time, serving breakfast all day is a big thing in the industry right now. So, the Carl’s Jr. way to meet that demand is to offer our classic Breakfast Burger all day long.” Source
My personal opinion, we are the winners because there are so many variations of food items used by the competing recipes, we get to use them as inspiration to make our very own breakfast burger for ourselves.

Prep To Make This Recipe
There is very little prep required for this meal. You’ll just need to chop a bit of onion and form the sausage into patties.
Cooking Methods
I prefer making this as one of my camp stove recipes because there are a few things cooking at the same time and it is easier to control the heat of a propane stove than it is to cook with campfire coals. Get your stove ready for cooking on a level surface.
It is possible to make this as one of my campfire recipes. You’ll want to have a large fire ring because of the amount of food you’re cooking. Alternatively, you can just cook the individual items in batches and keep each ingredient warm as you continue cooking. You’ll need to get your fire going in order to cook over coals from a nice hardwood.
Steps To Make This Meal
Step 1. Prepare your ingredients, cooking equipment and heat source as directed.
Step 2. Fry the bacon. Place a frying pan over medium heat and thoroughly cook the bacon. Then, let it drain on a paper towel.
Step 3. Cook the onions. Remove some of the bacon fat from the pan before you cook the onions till they are softened.
Step 4. Fry the sausage and top with cheese. Use a separate pan to fry the sausage until it is fully cooked and browned on both sides. Then top with cheese and let it melt.
Step 5. Toast the hash browns. Cover a skillet with a tight fitting lit to toast the hash browns. If you really want an even greasier sandwich, you can pan fry or deep fry them in oil.
Step 6. Cook the egg. You’re looking for a soft medium center on the egg you fry. It will take about 2 or 3 minutes per side.
Step 7. Build the sandwiches. Now it’s time to build the burger starting with the bun then adding the bacon, egg, sausage, hash brown, onions, ketchup and top bun. Serve hot and enjoy.
