The Heart Attack Sandwich: A Ridiculously Indulgent Creation

Sometimes, you just want to make a sandwich that’s a little over the top—a sandwich so loaded with flavour that it almost feels like it should come with a health warning. Enter the Heart Attack Sandwich. This beast of a sandwich isn’t for the faint-hearted (pun intended), but that’s kind of the point. It’s meant to be a bit ridiculous, a bit indulgent, and, above all, a lot of fun. So, if you’re ready to throw caution to the wind and embrace full-on flavour, this sandwich is your next obsession.

We start with the basics: two juicy beef patties that are amped up with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. These aren’t your average burger patties; they’re rich, flavour-packed, and destined to be the centrepiece of this colossal sandwich.

Now, what’s a burger without some onions? But here, we’re not talking about any old onions. These are onions grilled with ale and lots of butter, bringing a deep, sweet flavour with just a hint of bitterness from the beer. As they caramelise, they soak up all that buttery goodness, making them the perfect match for the salty, crispy streaky bacon that’s also cooked in the same pan. The goal here is maximum flavour with minimal clean-up.

And then, of course, comes the cheese—because what’s indulgence without a serious dose of melted, gooey goodness? We’re not sticking to one type either. This sandwich gets both the classic, creamy melt of American cheese and the stretchy richness of shredded mozzarella. You’ll find cheese in every bite, whether it’s nestled between layers of bacon and beef or melted across the top.

But wait, there’s more. No sandwich is complete without the perfect sauce to tie it all together, and for the Heart Attack, it’s a simple but sharp mustard-mayo combo. It adds just the right amount of tang to cut through the richness of the beef, bacon, and cheese, balancing out all the bold flavours.

Is this sandwich a bit outrageous? Absolutely. But that’s exactly why it works. It’s designed for those days when you just want to go all-in on a meal that doesn’t hold back. The Heart Attack Sandwich isn’t pretending to be anything it’s not; it’s a fun, indulgent creation that knows exactly what it’s doing.

3. A little bit of ridiculousness never hurt anyone: Sure, this sandwich isn’t your everyday meal, but once in a while, we all deserve to treat ourselves to something over-the-top.

So, the next time you’re feeling a bit cheeky and want to have some fun with your cooking, give the Heart Attack Sandwich a go. You’ll have a great time making it, and an even better time eating it—just be sure to have a nap lined up afterward!
