Barnyard Burgers

There's a little bit of everything from the barn on this burger!

I'm so late to posting today and I apologize. I've been participating in a readathon (I'm a huge bookworm) and instead of blogging, I've been reading. A lot. I just finished my 3rd book for the past 5 days. Today's recipe is awesome. This burger takes a little bit of everything on the farm and sticks it on a hamburger bun. You have a little cow, pig, and chicken (egg) in there. I noted how it could also be made to include lamb and goat. At the time, I had no clue we even had lamb at the local grocery store. I love a burger with a fried egg and bacon, so I absolutely loved this one!

What you need:

• 1 lb. ground beef
• Salt and pepper 
• Sliced cheddar cheese
• Romaine lettuce leaves
• Tomato, sliced
• 8 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked
• 4 fried eggs
• Mayonnaise
• Hamburger buns

Directions:

1. Divide ground beef into four patties and flatten a little large than the bun size. 
2. Cook over medium high heat in a skillet or on the grill. Flip once and add cheddar cheese while the other side cooks.
3. Assemble by slathering mayo on the bottom bun, topping with lettuce, tomato, burger, fried egg, and 2 strips of bacon.

Notes: To get more of the barn on your plate, replace half the ground beef with ground lamb. Substitute goat cheese for cheddar cheese.

Recipe from From Away

I recently posted this In-and-Out Double Double Copycat recipe and it's a great burger - loads of onion! I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to eat these Juicy Lucy Burgers from The Hungry Bluebird...right now!
