Carnivore Burger with Egg “Bun”

Ingredients:

• 2 ground beef patties (80/20 for extra juiciness, or 70/30 for more fat)
• 2 eggs
• 2 slices of cheddar cheese (or any preferred cheese, or omit if strict carnivore)
• 1 tbsp beef tallow, butter, or bacon grease (for cooking)
• Salt to taste
• Optional: 1-2 strips of crispy bacon (for extra flavor and texture)
• Optional: 1-2 slices of liver (if you’re including organ meats for extra nutrients)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Patties:
   • Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add your choice of fat (beef tallow, butter, or bacon grease).
   • Season the ground beef patties with salt.
   • Cook the beef patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently to get a nice sear and juiciness. If using thicker patties, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
   • Set aside and keep warm.
2. Fry the Eggs:
   • In the same pan, add more fat (if needed), then crack the eggs into the skillet.
   • Cook until the whites are fully set but the yolk remains runny (or to your desired doneness). For a more crispy effect, cook the eggs longer and allow the edges to crisp up.
   • If you prefer a more firm yolk, flip the egg carefully and cook for another minute.
3. Optional: Cook the Bacon & Liver:
   • If adding crispy bacon, cook the strips in the same skillet until they reach your desired level of crispiness. Place them on a paper towel to drain any excess fat.
   • If adding liver, slice it thinly and fry in the pan until fully cooked and crispy.
4. Assemble the “Burger”:
   • Place one beef patty on a plate as your base.
   • Add a fried egg, then top with a slice of cheddar cheese (or skip cheese if strict carnivore).
   • Stack the second beef patty on top and finish with the second fried egg. The eggs serve as your “bun” here!
   • For an extra indulgent option, you can melt some butter over the top of the burger.
5. Optional Upgrades:
   • Add the crispy bacon in between the layers of the patties for a crunchy, salty bite.
   • Instead of regular cheese, you could use cheese crisps (melted cheese that has been fried until crispy) for a more carnivore-friendly touch.
   • For a more nutrient-dense meal, consider adding a slice or two of cooked liver as an additional layer. It will elevate the meal’s richness and give you the benefits of organ meats.

Optional Serving Suggestions:

• Serve with a side of bone broth for extra collagen and nutrients.
• If you’re open to more fat, drizzle melted butter over the top of the entire burger for a rich finish.

This modification enhances the meal by adding more flavor layers (bacon and liver) and provides an optional organ meat upgrade to boost nutritional value. It stays fully carnivore-friendly while giving you more texture and richness.
