Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tater Tots

    Cook the tater tots according to package instructions until golden and crispy. Once cooked, smash them lightly with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patty

    In the same skillet, form the ground beef into a patty and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until well done.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking the patty, place one slice of American cheese on top to melt. Meanwhile, fry the egg in a separate pan to your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Toast the English Muffin

    Split the English muffin in half and toast until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the toasted English muffin, place the beef patty with melted cheese, followed by the crispy bacon, fried egg, and the smashed tater tot. Top with the other half of the muffin.
