Brunch Burgers

Back to recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (85/15)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 12 slices good quality bacon, 4 pieces finely chopped (I used thick-cut bacon)
  • 4 slices of deli-style sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 frozen shredded hash brown patties
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 sandwich size English muffins, toasted and lightly buttered
  • Ketchup or hot sauce (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine the meat, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and finely chopped bacon. Form into 4 patties. Set aside
  2. Bake the remaining 8 slices of bacon on a slotted broiler pan until crisp, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and drain on paper towels. Cook 4 of the hash brown patties according to package directions. Keep warm.
  3. While the hash brown patties are baking, heat a griddle or cast iron skillet to medium-high. Cook the burgers until done to your liking. Top with cheese to melt during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet. Fry 4 eggs, over medium to hard, season with salt and pepper.
  4. Toast the muffins and butter lightly. To assemble, place a cheeseburger on the muffin bottom, top with two slices of bacon, a fried egg, a hash brown patty, ketchup (if using) and the muffin top.
