Ingredients

For the Burgers

500 grams ground beef, OR minced pork, OR bulk Italian sausage
8 strips bacon
2 tablespoons butter
4 eggs
4 hamburger buns
salt and pepper, to taste
lettuce
Cheddar cheese, use real cheese, sliced

For the Sauce

3 tablespoons mayo
1 tablespoon Sriracha Chili Garlic sauce

Instructions

Make the sauce by mixing together the may and Sriracha sauce, set aside.
Fry the bacon strips and drain them on paper towel, set aside.
Form the meat into 3 equal sized patties, use a small drinking glass to cut out the center of each patty so you have 3 donut shaped patties, use the meat from the three circles and make a 4th donut shaped patty. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a heavy non stick pan or a cast iron pan and melt the butter. Add the patties and cook for 2 minutes, then flip. Crack an egg into the center of each patty then cover and cook until the egg whites are set.
Toast the buns if desired, spread with the sauce. Build the burgers as bottom bun, lettuce, burger patty, 2 bacon slices, Cheddar cheese, top bun. Serve with a side of your choice.

Notes

Ground beef would cost about 150 Baht/500 grams, minced pork runs about 70 Baht/500 grams. The bacon and cheese is probably no more than 60 Baht total. For 4 servings, this would be about $1.55 per serving if using beef, and about 96 cents per serving if using pork. Overall, not bad.
