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 hamburger bun half.

Step 2

Cook bacon in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Set skillet with grease aside.

Step 3

Combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, and steak seasoning in a large bowl; do not over mix. Form into 4 patties. Press thumbprint into middle of each patty (to keep from shrinking as they cook).

Step 4

Grill patties on the preheated grill until desired doneness, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Keep grill on.

Step 5

Top each burger with 2 strips bacon and 1 slice Cheddar cheese; close lid and grill until cheese melted, about 1 minute. Remove patties from grill. Keep grill on.

Step 6

Toast buns on the preheated grill, buttered-sides down, until browned, about 1 minute. Remove from the grill. Place 1 patty on bottom half of each bun.

Step 7

Reheat bacon grease in the skillet over medium-high heat. Crack eggs into the skillet; cook 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 top buns.
