First, prepare the bacon by frying on the stove top until crispy. Remove from heat and place the bacon on a paper towel lined plate to dry.

For the burgers, use your hands to gently combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, and Worcestershire in a medium sized mixing bowl. Form into 5 patties, placing a dent with your thumb in the center of each one.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the beef patties. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, flip, then add an ounce of cheese to each patty, allowing it to melt while the other side cooks an additional 3 minutes, or to desired doneness. Remove from heat.

To assemble, spread a spoonful of blue cheese dressing on the bottom of each of the buns. Top with the burger patty, a few slices of egg, avocado, and red onion, 2 strips of bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Finish with additional blue cheese dressing if desired. Serve immediately.
