Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon steak seasoning
• 8 slices thick-cut bacon
• 4 hamburger buns, split
• 4 large lettuce leaves
• 2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons salted butter, softened
• 1.5 pounds lean ground beef
• 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Butter each half of hamburger buns.

Step 2

Place bacon in a heavy skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Set the skillet aside, reserving grease.

Step 3

Mix ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, and steak seasoning together in a large bowl; do not overmix. Form into 4 patties. Make a thumbprint in the middle of each patty to keep it from shrinking as it cooks.

Step 4

Grill patties on the preheated grill until preferred doneness, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Top each burger with 2 slices bacon and a Cheddar cheese slice; close the grill lid until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Remove patties from the grill.

Step 5

Place buns on the grill, buttered-side down, and cook until browned, about 1 minute. Remove from the grill. Place 1 patty on the bottom half of each bun.

Step 6

Reheat the bacon grease in the skillet over medium-high heat. Crack eggs into the hot skillet and fry until whites are cooked but yolk is still runny, about 4 minutes. Immediately place 1 egg on top of each patty. Top with lettuce, onion, avocado, and remaining buns.
