The Royal Bacon Breakfast Burger is the ultimate combination of breakfast and dinner. It is piled high, layer upon layer of amazing breakfast flavors. With the perfect crunch from the breakfast bun, crisp potatoes, and two types of bacon this burger is a dream come true. It is topped with a rich, luscious sunny side up egg that pulls this entire burger together. This recipe is a must make!
This is one of the many reasons
we are so excited to be partnering with Jones Dairy Farm again. February is National Hot Breakfast Month, I don’t know about you, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE breakfast. But I just don’t have the time to cook up my favorites in the morning. That is exactly why our friends at Jones Dairy Farm created this super fun website JonesBrinner.com. They want to help you enjoy the breakfast foods that you love at your dinner table. I’m game!!!
The site is packed with fabulous brinner recipes, cooking tips and a pretty fun quiz. And of course the RECIPE for this burger. You have to check it out. My favorite thing on the site is the cooking tips for eggs.
I may have never shared this with you, but I am pretty talented in the kitchen. I can cook a lot of things and bake my little heart out. However, eggs… UGH! They are my nemesis. Over easy, sunny side up, scrambled, omelets, soft boiled, hard boiled. It is one food that really challenges me. I have to say that I mastered hard boiled eggs last summer. I was feeling pretty good, then I had this amazing idea for this Royal Bacon Breakfast Burger and I knew that I had to come through.
After 2 attempts and some fantastic tips, voila! Perfect sunny side up eggs. I can’t believe it! Chad was thrilled as he loves ’em and I haven’t made them successfully until now. I mean, he did get some really awesome fried eggs. LOL. You know when the top just won’t cook, you flip it. hahaha
Seriously check out the Egg Cooking Tips, you will thank me.

Serving the Royal Bacon Breakfast Burger
This burger is quite the masterpiece, with that perfectly cooked sunny side up egg on top. Chad loves to get the royal burger when we go out to eat, so I decided to take it one step further and whip up an amazing breakfast burger. It all starts with crispy hash browns topped with a cheeseburger, 2 kinds of bacon and the sunny side egg on top served on a toasted English muffin. Oh my heavens. Try our easy Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes on the side!
That is the most magnificent brinner recipe! You are going to love it.

Loaded Royal Bacon Breakfast Burger
Ingredients
- 4 strips bacon
- 1 cup fresh shredded hash browns
- 5 teaspoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1 pound ground beef, 80/20 recommended
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 slices American cheese
- 2 slices Canadian bacon
- 2 large eggs
- 2 English muffins, split
Instructions
- COOK BACON: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 4 strips bacon until crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Leave about 1 teaspoon bacon drippings in the pan.
- MAKE HASH BROWNS: Add 2 teaspoons unsalted butter to the skillet over medium heat. Divide 1 cup shredded hash browns into 2 piles and press each into a patty shape about the size of the English muffins. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a plate.
- FORM PATTIES: Divide 1 pound lean ground beef into 2 equal patties slightly larger than the English muffins. Press a shallow indentation into the center of each to prevent doming. Season both sides with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper.
- COOK BURGERS: In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 teaspoon unsalted butter. Cook patties for 3 minutes without moving, until deeply browned. Flip and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 160°F. During the last minute, place 1 slice American cheese on each patty to melt. Remove and rest 3 minutes.
- COOK CANADIAN BACON: Add the Canadian bacon slices to the skillet and cook for 1 minute per side until lightly browned.
- FRY EGGS: Reduce heat to medium-low and add remaining 2 teaspoons unsalted butter. Crack 2 large eggs into the pan. Cook until whites are set and yolks remain runny, about 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon melted butter over the whites if needed to finish cooking.
- TOAST MUFFINS: Toast the English muffins until lightly crisp.
- ASSEMBLE: On the bottom half of each English muffin, layer 1 hash brown patty, 1 cheeseburger patty, 1 slice Canadian bacon, 2 strips bacon, and 1 fried egg. Top with the English muffin lid.
- SERVE: Serve immediately while hot.

Apricot Bacon Jam
8 Slices Bacon
1/3 c. Apricot Jam
2 T. Apple Cider Vinegar
Directions:
1. Cook bacon until crisp, then allow to cool before chopping into chunks. Set aside.
2. In small skillet heat apricot jam and vinegar over medium heat until well combined. Next, stir in bacon and bring ingredients to a rolling boil. Once this is reached, reduce flame to low and allow to simmer for 5-6 minutes.
That sounds absolutely amazing!!! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
OM goodness. Must try
Now that is a breakfast sandwich!
I seriously agree Chris! It is great to see you.
The Real Royal Bacon Breakfast Burger would be to use rich and buttery Havarti cheese. I use it on all my Ham and egg muffins all the time. It just tastes like more. Wife loves them.
That sounds delightful Gary! I will give it a try next time. Thanks for commenting.
I make something similar, but use a sausage patty instead if burger for breakfast…
That sounds like a delightful breakfast sandwich! Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you so very much, cleanNpd4,for sharing your version of apricot bacon jam. I made a bacon jam last year, it took a ton of bacon and sadly which it was truly delicious, it didn't go very far.
This sounds really delicious! Donna, I love your blog, I never fail to find delicious, tempting, and healthy dishes to serve my friends and family! Wishing everyone a blessed upcoming week!

Thank you for all your amazing recipes. I love your recipes (sauces, oven dishes etc.) and the story that goes with each recipe. You know, by reading all your recipes I became a much more better cook. Your ideas how and what to combine is truly inspiring. I do not read them: I study them. So thank you for sharing. Also by reading the comments of your guests I get some good ideas. Layla.
One of my friends had me over for bunch and we had these but instead of the English muffin we used a glazed ring donut as the bun! Amazing she toasted the donut first so all that lovely glaze got caramelized!
That sounds delicious!
Great recipe! Tried it your way but I liked it better with Chorizo sausage and jalapeno cheese much better and sliced jalapenos as a topping.
This is my FAVORITE burger ever! Breakfast, lunch or dinner, I never had an egg on my burger until I saw this recipe and it is really amazing!
