Copycat Applebee's All-In Brunch Burgers

What you need:

    • 1 lb. ground beef (80/20)
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 6 to 8 slices bacon
    • Vegetable oil
    • 1 small onion, diced
    • Frozen hashbrowns
    • American cheese
    • 4 large eggs
    • Hamburger buns, toasted

Directions:

    1. Cook bacon in a large skillet until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and keep warm. Drain excess grease.
    2. Form ground beef into 4 balls of meat. Place in skillet and smash down using a spatula and a heavy object. Season with salt and pepper.
    3. Meanwhile heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add enough frozen hashbrowns for four burgers.
    4. Add onion to hashbrowns and stir. Let sit until potatoes are browned, then flip and brown on the other side.
    5. Flip burgers once and cook until done. Add cheese during the last few minutes of cooking so it can melt.
    6. In a nonstick skillet, fry each egg using a little bacon grease and seasoning with salt and pepper. You can leave the yolk runny or break it and cook it fully. It's up to you.
    7. Build burgers by topping each bun with a hamburger patty, then hashbrowns, an egg, and a few strips of bacon.
