The Aussie Burger

The Aussie burger, stacked with pickled beets, cheddar cheese, tomato, grilled pineapple, and a fried egg. It's the Dagwood of burgers and utterly delicious.

  • 1 lb. ground beef lamb or combination
  • 2 hamburger buns split and toasted
  • 2-4 lettuce leaves
  • 1 to mato sliced
  • 4 slices pickled beets
  • pineapple thinly sliced
  • tomato ketchup
  • mayonnaise
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 slices bacon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°
  2. Fry the bacon until crisp, set aside to drain on some paper towels.
  3. In the same pan or on the grill, fry the pineapple slices for a minute on each side to get some char.
  4. Shape the ground beef or lamb into 2 ½ pound patties.
  5. Heat some oil in a large, non-stick frypan over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3 minutes on each side or until almost cooked through. Or grill them.
  6. Transfer the burgers to a baking sheet and top each patty with a slice of cheese. Place in the oven for 3-5 minutes or until cheese melts.
  7. While cheese is melting, fry the two eggs just until the whites are cooked. But, the yolks are still runny. Over easy is the best, but sunny side up works well too.
  8. Take the burgers from the oven when the cheese is melted and assemble.
