Ingredients
  

For the Beef Patties
  • 1 pound ground beef Use 80/20 beef for juiciness.
  • 1/2 tsp salt To taste.
  • 1/2 tsp pepper To taste.
For the French Toast
  • 4 slices thick sliced bread Thick bread holds up best.
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
For Assembly
  • 2 slices American Cheese American cheese melts reliably.
  • 4 slices cooked bacon Cook bacon ahead for speed.
  • 1/2 onion, sliced thin Fresh onion caramelizes sweeter.
  • Optional Big Mac sauce Spread inside the bread if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Divide the pound of beef into two equal patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Press gently; don’t overwork the meat.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high and sauté patties until browned and cooked to liking, about 3–4 minutes per side for medium.
  3. Cook bacon until crisp and set aside. In the same pan, add the thin onion slices and cook until soft and golden, about 6–8 minutes; toss occasionally.
French Toast Cooking
  1. Whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
  2. Dip each bread slice into the egg mix, letting it soak for 5–10 seconds per side, then cook in a buttered skillet over medium heat until golden and slightly crisp, 2–3 minutes per side.
Assembly
  1. Spread Big Mac sauce inside bread if desired. Place one beef patty on two slices, top each with a slice of American cheese, two bacon strips, and the cooked onions.
  2. Close with the second piece of French toast, press lightly, slice, and serve warm while the cheese is melty and the toast still has a slight crisp.

Notes

Time-saver: Cook bacon and onions while patties rest to save minutes. Common mistake: Don’t soak bread too long or it gets soggy. Simple variation: Add smoked paprika for a smoky note.
