Instructions

1. Preheat a grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Shape into 4 equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
3. Grill the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of grilling to melt.
4. While the patties are cooking, fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your preference, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill until golden brown.
7. To assemble the burgers, spread a layer of mayonnaise and ketchup on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, beetroot, pineapple, and the grilled cheese-topped beef patty.
8. Top each patty with a fried egg and a slice of bacon, then place the top bun on each burger.
9. Serve immediately with a side of chips or a fresh salad.
