Jack Daniels Glazed Burger

print recipe

(18+) A Jack Daniels glazed burger, crispy hash brown topper, Jack Daniel’s caramelised onions… all soaked in my gorgeous Jack Daniel’s sauce. Yes please, in my mouth, immediately. Also, how many more times can I say Jack Daniel’s? Can they get in touch so I can work with them please?!

I know I’ve mentioned this elsewhere but my 2000s were dominated by TGI Friday’s and it always felt like such a treat whenever we visited. Now, I was the kinda gal who ordered a mixture of starters as opposed to a main, but if I did order a main, this is the sort of dish I’d have gone for. Maybe I need another trip back for some reasearch?

Creating this meal unlocked too many memories, so you’ll find me in a corner crying happy tears into this succulent burger.

Looking for more burgers? I’ve got ya. Try out my Korean fried chicken burger or buttermilk chicken burger next.
