Burger Ingredients

Toppings

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ground Beef

    In a large bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently without overworking the meat, then divide into 4 equal portions.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

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

  3. 3

    Make the Hash Browns

    In the same skillet, add the hash browns and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove and set aside.

Cooking the Burgers

  1. 4

    Smash the Burgers

    Increase the heat to high and place the beef patties in the skillet. Use a spatula to smash the patties down for about 10 seconds. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  2. 5

    Fry the Eggs

    While the burgers are cooking, in another pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your preference.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, tomato (sliced), red onion (sliced), and pickles. Add two burger patties, top with crispy bacon, and finally, the fried egg. Place the top half of the bun on.
