Step 1
Start by heating your grill to medium-high and give the grate a light coat of oil so the burgers don’t stick. Shape the ground beef into four equal patties and season both sides with salt and pepper. While the grill heats up, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning it now and then, until it’s nice and crispy—this usually takes about 10 to 12 minutes. Once done, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain.

Step 2
In the same skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the onion slices over medium-high heat until they soften and start to caramelize, about 5 to 7 minutes. Set them aside for later. Now, place your patties on the grill and cook them for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach the doneness you like. In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of American cheese so it can melt perfectly.

Step 3
While the burgers finish, crack the eggs into a nonstick pan over medium heat. Let them cook until the edges look set, about a minute, then cover the pan, lower the heat, and cook for another 4 minutes until the whites are fully cooked but the yolks are still runny. To assemble, stack each burger patty on the bottom bun, then add a fried egg, two slices of bacon, some of those sweet onions, a dollop of mayo, and finish with the top bun. Serve right away and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines classic flavors that everyone enjoys. The crispy bacon and runny egg add rich texture and taste to a juicy beef patty. It’s a satisfying meal that feels special but is easy to make.
How to serve
Serve with a side of crispy fries or a fresh green salad. Pickles and sliced tomatoes also complement the flavors well. A cold soda or a milkshake can make the meal even more enjoyable.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best to eat them within two days to keep the bacon and egg fresh. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the burger.
