Beef, Bacon & Egg Burger

Submitted by: Buckeye Nutrition

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tsp. canola oil, plus more for the grate
• 1¼ pounds ground beef chuck
• 4 slices bacon, chopped
• Kosher salt and black pepper
• 4 English muffins, split
• 4 large eggs
• 1 large tomato, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat grill to medium-high. Once it is hot, clean the grill grates. Just before grilling, oil the grill grate.
2. Gently mix together the beef, bacon and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper with your hands in a medium bowl until just combined. Form the beef mixture into four ¾-inch thick patties. Use your fingers to make a shallow well in the top of each patty (this will prevent over-plumping during cooking).
3. Grill the burgers until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 140 °F (roughly 4 minutes per side for medium-rare). *Grill the English muffins, split-side down, until toasted, 10 to 20 seconds.
4. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook, covered for 2 to 3 minutes for slightly runny yokes. Season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
5. Stack the tomato, burgers and eggs between the muffins
