The slinger is a St. Louis breakfast that stacks a hamburger patty, hash browns and eggs on one plate, then buries the lot under chili, cheese and raw onion. It is a diner dish built for a big appetite. Grated cheese works best because it melts quickly into the hot chili. The raw diced onion adds a sharp crunch against the rich layers underneath.

Instructions

Cook the eggs however you like them, whether fried, scrambled or over easy. Keep them warm while you cook the rest.

Cook the hamburger patty until it is done through and no pink remains in the middle.

Heat the chili until it is hot and bubbling gently at the edges.

Dice the onion into small pieces so it spreads evenly over the plate.

Put the hash browns on a plate and set the patty on top of them. Lay the eggs over the patty.

Spoon the hot chili over everything, then finish with the grated cheese and the diced onion. The cheese should soften slightly from the heat of the chili.
