1
Prepare the Beef Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about ¾-inch thick.
3
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4
Cook the Patties
In the same skillet, add olive oil. Once hot, place the burger patties in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.
5
Add Cheese
After flipping the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
6
Fry the Eggs
In another small skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes.

7
Toast the Buns
Lightly toast the burger buns on the skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.
8
Layer the Ingredients
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a cooked burger patty with cheese, followed by two slices of crispy bacon and a fried egg on top.
9
Finish the Burger
Cover with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately with your choice of condiments and sides.
