Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 bell peppers (any color), cut into ½-inch-wide strips
• 1 large sweet yellow onion, sliced into ½-inch-wide rings
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1½ pounds ground pork
• 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
• Softened butter for toasting buns
• 6 King’s Hawaiian hamburger buns, split
• 6 eggs
• 6 slices American cheese
• 9 slices cooked bacon, cut in half crosswise

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and transfer to a plate; keep warm. Divide the pork into 6 equal portions and shape into patties; sprinkle evenly with seasoned salt. Grill or pan fry them in the skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove patties from heat; keep warm.

Spread a small amount of butter on the cut sides of the buns and toast on a grill or in a pan until golden; keep warm.

Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Fry eggs to desired doneness then transfer to a platter. Top each egg with a slice of cheese.

To assemble, place a toasted bun bottom down on a plate and top with a pork burger, a fried egg, some of the sautéed vegetables, 3 bacon strips and the top bun. Use skewers to hold the sandwiches together, if desired.
