Fried Egg & Cheddar Burgers

There’s no better way to end the week than with a burger recipe!

This isn’t even a recipe…it’s just an idea.

Put a fried egg on your burger.

Period.

End of sentence.

Done.

My husband always gets excited when I suggest a fried egg on our burgers.  It’s such a simple addition that makes a big difference.  So, this weekend, fire up the grill, make you some burgers and throw an egg on top.  You’ll be happy you did!

This recipe makes four (half-pound) burgers.

Shopping List
2 pounds of ground beef
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
about 2 tablespoons of your favorite steak seasoning
4 eggs, fried up in the skillet with a little salt and pepper
4 thick slices of cheddar cheese (we used a sharp white cheddar)
1 red onion, chopped
4 burger buns
Guacamole to garnish

Preheat your outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat.

In a mixing bowl, combine your ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, and steak seasoning together.  Divide this mixture into four sections and make four patties (make sure to press down each patty a little in the center to avoid the “burger bulge” when they grill).

Add your burger patties to the grill and begin grilling (we do about 6 minutes or so each side).  Meanwhile, make sure you have your four eggs fried (we do it in the skillet with just a touch of olive oil).  When your burgers are just about done, add a slice of cheese to each patty and let it melt about a minute.  Then, it’s time to assemble!  Bun plus cheeseburger patty plus your fried egg, chopped red onion and guacamole.

It’s a burger fit for a weekend! xo
