The Hangover Cure Burger (Spicy Bacon, Egg and Cheese Burger)

Angela Dawn's Note:

This burger does not need chips or fries. This burger will smack the hang over out of just about anyone. It's a personal spin on the cross-country burger that they used to make where I worked in Portland. This is spicy meat fans favorite! It's not as complicated as it looks, and it's WORTH it if you're not watching your waist line.
