Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 2 Burgers

Ingredients

  • 1 Pound 80/20% Certified Angus Ground Beef
  • Salt and Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1 Pound Thick Cut Bacon
  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 Brioche Hamburger Buns
  • 4 Slices of Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Lay the bacon out on the foil lined sheet. Bake bacon for 12-15 minutes until crispy. Add to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
  2. Heat a well seasoned, large cast iron skillet over high heat for 1 minute.
  3. Section the beef into fourths. Form each fourth into a patty. Press an indent in the center so it stays flat while cooking. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add two patties at a time to the hot cast iron. Cook for 3 minutes on the first side. Cook for 2 minutes on the second side. Top each patty with a slice of cheese and set off to the side.
  5. Cook the remaining two beef patties the same way.
  6. Add a bit of oil to a skillet. Cook the eggs until the white is no longer jiggly and translucent. Sunny side up, with a runny yolk is the preferred burger egg.
  7. Pop the buns under the broiler for a minute to toast them.
  8. Top the bottom bun with one patty, one egg, three slices of bacon. Then place the other patty on top with another egg and a few more slices of bacon. Cover with top bun and enjoy! Serve with fries and lots of napkins!
