Ingredients

• 4 burger buns
• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 slices bacon
• 4 slices cheese
• 4 large eggs

Instructions

1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
2. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat, then place a beef ball on it. Using a spatula, press down firmly to flatten the beef into a patty.
3. Cook each patty for 2-3 minutes per side, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper while cooking.
4. In a separate skillet, lightly grease and fry the eggs to your desired doneness.
5. Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt slightly.
6. Toast the burger buns lightly on the griddle or a toaster.
7. To assemble, place a beef patty on the bottom half of each bun, followed by crispy bacon, a fried egg, and finally the top half of the bun.
