Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 eggs
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 slices of cheese
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 slices of tomato
Special equipment needed:
- Grill or grill pan
- Skillet
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.
3. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
4. While the burgers are cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
5. When the burgers are almost done, place a slice of cheese on top of each patty and let it melt.
6. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes.
7. To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bottom half of each bun. Place a burger patty with melted cheese on top of the tomato. Add a fried egg on top of the burger patty.
8. Serve immediately.
