Ingredients
Scale
Beef Patties
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
Toppings
- 4 slices crispy bacon
- 4 large eggs
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Pickles
Buns & Condiments
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
- Butter or oil for frying eggs and buns
- Ketchup (optional)
- Mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat grill or skillet: Heat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the beef patties.
- Form and season patties: Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Cook patties: Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness.
- Melt cheese: During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and let it melt thoroughly.
- Cook bacon: In a separate pan, fry the bacon slices until crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess fat.
- Fry eggs: Fry eggs sunny-side-up or over-easy in butter or oil, keeping the yolks runny if you like, for that perfect hangover touch.
- Toast buns: Lightly butter the hamburger buns and toast them until golden brown.
- Assemble burgers: Layer the toasted buns with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, the cheeseburger patty, crispy bacon, and fried egg in that order.
- Add condiments and serve: Spread ketchup and mayonnaise if desired, then serve the burgers immediately while hot and juicy.
Notes
- Using 80/20 ground beef ensures juicy and flavorful patties with the right fat content.
- For best flavor, cook eggs to personal preference but runny yolks add richness.
- Feel free to customize toppings or condiments to suit your taste.
- To avoid soggy buns, toast them just before assembling the burger.
- These burgers are best enjoyed fresh off the grill or skillet for optimal taste and texture.
