These breakfast burgers are filled with fried eggs, bacon, breakfast sausage, cheese, and anything else you like, served up on toasted bagels.

In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, sausage, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix well with your hands.
1 pound 80% lean ground beef, ½ pound pork breakfast sausage, 1½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Divide the mixture into 6 patties. Place the patties on a plate and season with salt.
Kosher salt
Heat a large skillet or stovetop griddle over medium-high heat. Melt butter, then cook the patties for 4 minutes per side, or to your desired doneness.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Remove the patties from the skillet and crack in the eggs, cooking until they reach your desired doneness.
6 large eggs
Place the patties on the bagels, topping each with sliced cheese and a fried egg. Place bacon, tomato, and lettuce on top, and any additional toppings you'd like.
6 bagels, 6 slices cheese, 12 slices cooked bacon, 6 slices tomato, 6 pieces lettuce

You can make these burgers with all ground beef if you'd prefer.
In place of the Worcestershire sauce, you can use soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos in a pinch.
In place of the butter, you can cook the burgers in oil.
Use whatever cheese you love, such as American, cheddar, Swiss, pepper Jack, or even feta!
Try these burgers on classic burger buns, English muffins, pancakes, or waffles!
Top these burgers with your sliced avocado, fresh guacamole, or homemade salsa for southwestern breakfast burgers.
Drizzle a bit of maple syrup on top for sweet and savory breakfast burgers.
Try mayo, garlic aioli, or burger sauce for a classic burger taste.
Add a layer of hash browns!
Use 80% lean beef for the best burgers!
Don't overmix the patty mixture; otherwise, your burgers will be tough.
Bring the burger patty mixture to room temperature before cooking it to ensure that it cooks evenly.
Use a meat thermometer to determine when the patties are done to your preference.
Cook the eggs in the rendered fat from the burger patties for indulgent burgers.
