This iconic Australian burger is known as 'The Lot' for a reason—it is packed with savory beef, smoky bacon, a fried egg, and the controversial but essential slice of pickled beetroot. It is a messy, hearty, and unforgettable feast perfect for a backyard barbecue.
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and press them into flat patties slightly larger than your buns. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel.
Add the onion rings to the hot pan (using the bacon fat adds flavor) and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Move them to the side of the pan.
Place the beef patties on the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip. Immediately place a slice of cheese on each patty and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the beef is cooked through and cheese is melted.
While the burgers finish, crack the eggs onto the griddle and fry them sunny-side up or over-easy. Briefly sear the pineapple rings alongside them for 1-2 minutes per side.
To assemble, spread BBQ sauce on the bottom bun. Layer the lettuce, tomato slice, cheeseburger patty, bacon, caramelized onions, beetroot slice, pineapple ring, and finally the fried egg.
Place the top bun on the egg (gently to avoid breaking the yolk prematurely) and serve immediately with plenty of napkins.
