1. Begin by cooking potato based according to package directions. For homemade hashbrowns, preheat oven to 450 degrees F, layer potatoes evenly ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (use 2 baking sheets if needed) lightly toss in cooking oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip once halfway.

2. In the meantime prepare garnishes if making your own and set aside until ready to assemble.

3. To make the beer cheese sauce: In a medium sized saucepan, melt butter. When the butter is melted add the flour and whisk to make a roux. Let cook for 1 minute. Slowly add the beer and continue to whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and there are no more clumps. Reduce heat to low and gradually add the cheese. Stir until melted and fully incorporated. Season with spices for added taste. Add more beer to thin out if needed.

4. When the potatoes are just about ready, cook burgers.

5. To assemble, layer potatoes as the base, top with burger patty followed by the cheese sauce. Garnish as desired. Serve immediately.
