Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 8 pieces bacon strips
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces brioche buns
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp barbecue sauce
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Form the ground beef into 2 equally sized patties, about ¾-inch thick. Season both sides of the patties with salt and black pepper.
In the skillet, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Drain most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
Cook the beef patties in the skillet over medium-high heat, approximately 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
Add the butter to the skillet, then toast the brioche buns cut-side down until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry them to your desired doneness (leave the yolk runny for maximum indulgence). Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on the eggs for seasoning.
Assemble the sandwiches: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the beef patty with melted cheese on top. Layer 4 strips of crispy bacon over each patty, followed by the fried egg. Spread 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce on the top half of each bun and press it onto the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy 'The Greasemeister' with your favorite sides like fries or onion rings!
