Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time45 mins
Servings: 6

Equipment

  • Large, deep skillet

Ingredients

Bacon Cheddar Burgers

  • 2 lbs hamburger
  • 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar jack cheese
  • 1/4 onion, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 3/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Gravy Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/4 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cups beef broth

Other Essential Ingredients

  • cooked rice for serving
  • 6 fried eggs, cooked to your preferred level of doneness

Instructions

  • Combine all of the burger ingredients except for olive oil together in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
  • Form the burger mixture into 6 equal sized patties.
  • Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep skillet. When oil is hot enough to sizzle, add patties carefully. Cook each side for approximately 5-7 minutes or until each burger reaches 160 degrees or your preferred level of doneness. Set burgers aside on a plate.
  • In the same pan, without washing out crispy bits and pan juices, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onions, and garlic and sauté for 5-7 minutes. Add worcestershire, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper, cooking an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Add flour and fully coat mushroom mixture to form a roux. Cook 2-3 minutes or until the roux is lightly toasted. Then gradually add broth 1/2 cup at a time, whisking frequently in between additions. Make sure you scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze it and add more flavor. Once the gravy begins boiling, reduce heat to low.
  • Continue whisking until gravy is thickened and then add hamburger patties. Make sure the patties are fully submerged.
  • Simmer for five minutes on low to ensure everything is heated all the way through.
  • Serve each burger patty with gravy on top of a bed of rice. Top each with a fried egg.
  • Enjoy!
