(Ground Beef Burger, Hamburger with Beef Patty, Fried Eggs and Bacon)
Jump to recipe ↓
By now, my online friends would have got an idea that my family just loves hamburgers, also known as Beef Burgers. I love making variations to the basic beef burger that has grilled patties sandwiched between burger buns along with lettuce, onion and tomato slices. I already shared the recipe for Beef Burgers with Caramelized Onions.
Today I will be sharing Beef Burger with Egg and Bacon. This is my favourite one. I tasted this first in Red Robin I guess. It has all of my favourite things in one burger - eggs, bacon, beef patties.
As I always say, if you do not eat beef, make these with ground turkey, ground chicken or lamb. Serve the burgers with some potato fries and a side salad to make a complete meal.
Recipe for Beef Burger with Bacon
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- Burger Buns - 4
- Eggs - 4
- Bacon - 8
- Butter – for toasting the buns
- Cheese Slices - 4
- Mayonnaise - 4 tbsp
- Iceberg Lettuce (or any other lettuce) – 4 leaves
- Onion circles - 8 pieces

For Beef Patties
- Ground Beef – 1/2 kg (1 lb)

- Wosterschire Sauce - 2 tsp
- Salt – to taste (about 1 tsp)
- Black Pepper Crushed – 1 tsp
- Fennel Seeds - 1 tsp
- Dry red chilies - 2
Method
- Dry roast the fennel seeds and dry red chilies for about 30 seconds. Coarsely powder it. You can add fennel powder and red pepper flakes instead.
- Take the ground beef in a strainer and rinse it under running water. Leave it on the strainer till all the water drains off. After that take the meat in a bowl.
- Add the powder that we prepared, finely chopped garlic, wosterschire sauce, salt and pepper powder. Mix everything with your hands till it gets combined.
- Divide the mixture roughly into 4 equal parts. Take one portion and shape it into a patty. Make an intendation in the middle of the patty with your thumb to prevent the patties from bulging in the middle while cooking. Shape all the 4 patties about the size of the buns and keep it aside.
- Wash the lettuce, onion and tomatoes. Slice the tomatoes and onions into circles.
- Heat a dosa tawa or stove top grill pan. Cut the burger buns in half and toast the burger buns with some butter first. Keep it aside.
- Fry the eggs one by one in a small frying pan and keep aside. Also, fry the bacon on the griddle until it becomes crispy. Keep aside.
- Gently place the patties on the hot griddle, cook for about 4 minutes on the first side. Flip the patties and cook the other side for another 4 minutes till you get nice grill marks.
- Now place a cheese slice on each patty. In just a minute, the cheese will start melting. Assemble the burger immediately and enjoy for best taste.
- Take the lower part of the bun, spread some mayonnaise. Place the cooked patty with the cheese on top. Add the fried egg and 2 bacon slices on that.
- Top it with one lettuce leaf, 1 or 2 slices of tomatoes and onion. Carefully close the burger with the top bun. You can spread some hot sauce on this top bun if you like it. Enjoy.
