Provided by Love2cook32

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons salted butter, softened
4 hamburger buns, split
8 slices thick-cut bacon
1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon steak seasoning
4 slices Cheddar cheese
4 large eggs
4 large lettuce leaves
½ red onion, thinly sliced
2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Butter each half of hamburger buns.
  • Place bacon in a heavy skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Set the skillet aside, reserving grease.
  • Mix ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, and steak seasoning together in a large bowl; do not overmix. Form into 4 patties. Make a thumbprint in the middle of each patty to keep it from shrinking as it cooks.
  • Grill patties on the preheated grill until preferred doneness, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Top each burger with 2 slices bacon and a Cheddar cheese slice; close the grill lid until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Remove patties from the grill.
  • Place buns on the grill, buttered-side down, and cook until browned, about 1 minute. Remove from the grill. Place 1 patty on the bottom half of each bun.
  • Reheat the bacon grease in the skillet over medium-high heat. Crack eggs into the hot skillet and fry until whites are cooked but yolk is still runny, about 4 minutes. Immediately place 1 egg on top of each patty. Top with lettuce, onion, avocado, and remaining buns.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef: The quality of the ground beef you use will greatly impact the flavor of your burgers. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean, and make sure it is fresh.
  • Season the ground beef well: Don't be afraid to season the ground beef liberally. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper per pound of ground beef.
  • Don't overmix the ground beef: When you mix the ground beef, only do so until it is just combined. Overmixing will make the burgers tough.
  • Form the burgers into patties: Once the ground beef is seasoned, form it into patties that are about 1/2 inch thick and 4 inches in diameter.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cook the burgers over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Top the burgers with your favorite toppings: Once the burgers are cooked, top them with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
  • Serve the burgers immediately: Burgers are best served immediately after they are cooked.
