the pepper goes without saying.  Bv)=

      Title: Aussie Burger w/The Lot
 Categories: Beef, Pork, Vegetables, Fruits, Cheese
      Yield: 4 sandwiches

MMMMM----------------------CHILE-MAYO SAUCE--------------------------
    1/4 c  Ketchup
    1/4 c  Mayonnaise
      1 ts Hot sauce (Sriracha or ???)

MMMMM--------------------------BURGER--------------------------------
      4 sl Bacon; cooked
      4 lg Eggs
      4    (115 g) hamburger patties
      4 oz Sharp cheddar cheese; sliced
      1    Sweet onion; in thick rings
      4    Pineapple rings; patted dry
    1/4 c  Canned beets; drained,
           - sliced, patted dry
      1 lg Tomato; sliced
      4    Lettuce leaves; washed &
           - patted dry
      4    Hamburger buns; seeds opt

  Heat your grill to a medium heat.

  In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, mayonnaise, and
  hot sauce. Set aside.

  Fry your bacon in a medium skillet over medium high heat
  until cooked to your preferred done-ness. Remove the
  bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel lined
  plate. 

  Crack the four eggs into the hot bacon grease and fry
  the eggs until the whites are cooked, but the yolks are
  still jiggly, 2-3 minutes. Remove the fried eggs from
  the pan. 

  Place the burger patties on the pre-heated grill. Cook
  for 5-7 minutes on each side, until firm and cooked to
  your desired doneness. (Actual cooking time will depend
  on the thickness of the burgers and the heat of your
  grill. If using packaged burgers, refer to the package
  instructions.) Remove the burgers from the grill and let
  rest for 2-3 minutes, covered with aluminum foil to keep
  warm.

  Construct the burgers by layering lettuce, tomato,
  pineapple, beets, and onion on one half of the bun,
  followed by the burger patty. Continue, layering the
  cheese, bacon, and finally the fried egg. Top everything
  off with the top bun, slathered with the chili mayo.

  Un-hinge your jaw and get ready to enjoy this epic tower
  of a burger!
