Ingredients

• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 large onion
• 6 slices bacon, or more to taste
• 1.5 teaspoons rum
• 6 cake doughnuts, halved

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until dry and crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels. Remove most of the bacon grease from the skillet.

Step 3

Cut onion into 6 slices. Cook in the remaining bacon grease over medium heat until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the heat.

Step 4

While the onion is cooking, season beef with salt and pepper. Mix to combine and divide into 6 equal portions. Form into meatballs, then use a spatula or patty mold to shape meatballs into patties.

Step 5

While the oil is heating, mix eggs and rum together in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Dip patties into the egg mixture and place directly in the hot oil. Fry patties until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Drain patties on paper towels.

Step 6

Compile burgers on doughnut halves with bacon and onions.
