Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese slices
• 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 8 slices dill pickle slices
• 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 fried eggs
• 4 slices bacon slices, cooked
• 2 sesame seed hamburger buns
• 2 teaspoons butter, softened

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined. Divide into four equal portions and shape into 4 patties about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 2

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of cheddar cheese and one slice of Swiss cheese on each patty to melt.

Step 3

While the patties cook, toast the sesame seed buns. Spread the softened butter on the cut sides of the buns and place them on the grill or skillet, cut-side down, for 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown.

Step 4

Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer on one lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and 4 pickle slices.

Step 5

Place one cheeseburger patty on top of the pickles, followed by a strip of bacon and a fried egg. Add a second cheeseburger patty, another strip of bacon, and a few slices of red onion.

Step 6

Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard and 1 tablespoon of ketchup on the top half of each bun and place it on the stack to finish the burger.

Step 7

Serve immediately, using skewers or long toothpicks to hold each burger together if needed. Enjoy your towering Dagwood Burger with a side of fries or your favorite chips!
