Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
- 4 slices of cooked bacon
- 4 slices of canned beetroot
- 4 pineapple rings, grilled
- 4 fried eggs
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- Lettuce leaves
- Sliced tomato
- Ketchup and mayonnaise for serving
Instructions:
- Prepare the patties: Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Shape the beef into 4 equal patties, about ¾ inch thick.
- Cook the patties: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
- Grill the pineapple: While the patties are cooking, grill the pineapple rings for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are caramelized.
- Fry the eggs: In a separate skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up, making sure the yolks are still runny.
- Assemble the burgers: Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on the toasted buns. Layer each bun with a lettuce leaf, tomato slice, a slice of beetroot, a grilled pineapple ring, a burger patty with melted cheese, a fried egg, and crispy bacon.
- Serve: Top with the bun and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
