Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 4 pieces Hash browns (frozen or homemade, cooked crispy)
- 8 slices Crispy bacon
- 4 pieces Fried eggs
- 4 slices Pepper jack cheese
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef with the salt and pepper. Divide and shape the mixture into four even patties, pressing a small indentation in the center of each to help them cook evenly.
- Fry the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until they’re crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Prepare the hash browns according to package instructions or cook homemade ones in a skillet until they’re golden and crispy on both sides. Set aside and keep warm.
- Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, add a slice of pepper jack cheese to each patty and let it melt.
- In a nonstick skillet, melt a touch of butter over medium heat. Crack in the eggs, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (about 2-3 minutes).
- Optional, but recommended—split the hamburger buns and toast them lightly in the same pan or under a broiler for about a minute.
- Place each cheesy burger patty on the bottom bun. Top with crispy hash brown, fried egg, and two slices of bacon. Finish with the top bun.
- Enjoy immediately while everything is hot and fresh!
Notes
For a juicier burger, avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking and let them rest a few minutes before assembling. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best taste.
