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

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 2

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Butter both halves each hamburger bun.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Cook on the preheated grill until desired doneness, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers 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 is melted, about 1 minute. Transfer patties to a plate. Keep grill on.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Heat drippings 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. Place 1 egg on top of each patty. Top with lettuce, onion, avocado, and top buns, buttered-sides down.
