Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g ground beef
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 bacon strips
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cheddar cheese slices
- 2 English muffins
- 1 tbsp butter
- 4 tomato slices
- 2 lettuce leaves
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, 0.5 tsp of salt, and 0.25 tsp of black pepper. Mix well and form into two equal patties.
Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Once cooked, top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and let it melt. Set aside.
In a separate skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until they are crispy. Remove them from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels.
Melt 1 tbsp of butter in the same skillet where you cooked the bacon, then crack the eggs and cook to your preference (sunny-side-up or over-easy).
While the eggs are cooking, cut the English muffins in half and lightly toast them.
Spread 1 tbsp of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each English muffin. Add the lettuce leaf and two slices of tomato on top of the mayonnaise.
Place the cheeseburger patty on top of the tomato slices, followed by the cooked bacon strips, one fried egg, and finally drizzle with 1 tbsp of ketchup.
Finish by topping with the other half of the English muffin. Secure with a sandwich pick if needed, and serve immediately.
