This monster burger is not just food — it’s a challenge! The 50-pound mega burger has become a viral trend across the US and Canada for its jaw-dropping size and flavor. Here’s how it’s made.
Ingredients
For the Burger Patty:
- 25 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 2 cups bread crumbs
- 8 large eggs
- 6 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 6 tbsp garlic powder
- 6 tbsp onion powder
- 10 tsp salt
- 5 tsp black pepper
For the Bun:
- 15 lbs bread dough (split into two giant rounds)
- ½ cup melted butter (for brushing)
For the Toppings:
- 5 lbs cheddar cheese slices
- 3 lbs crispy bacon
- 5 lbs lettuce
- 3 lbs tomato slices
- 2 lbs onions (grilled or raw)
- 1 quart burger sauce or mayonnaise
Instructions
1.Shape the Giant Patty
Mix all the patty ingredients in a huge bowl. Form a massive patty about 24 inches wide and 3 inches thick. Place it on a large baking tray or grill pan lined with foil.
2.Cook the Patty
Grill or bake at 375°F (190°C) for 2 to 3 hours, flipping carefully halfway through.
Cook until the internal temperature hits 160°F (71°C) to ensure it’s fully done.
3.Bake the Giant Buns
Form two huge bun halves using the dough. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–50 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter.
4.Assemble the Burger
Place the bottom bun on a large tray, add the patty, then layer cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and sauce. Top with the bun and secure with long skewers or rods.
5.Serve and Slice
Cut it like a cake! Serves 25–30 people easily.
Pro Tip
Use a pizza oven or outdoor grill for even cooking. Melt cheese on top during the last 10 minutes for that gooey, golden finish.
