                                        Ingredients
- 6 smoked streaky bacon rashers
 - 125ml tomato ketchup
 - ½ tsp smoked or regular paprika
 - 1 tsp cider vinegar
 - 4 large beef burgers (we used Taste the Difference)
 - 4 burger buns, split
 - 1 tbsp olive oil
 - 4 medium eggs (optional)
 - 25g wild rocket
 
Step by step
Get ahead
Make the bacon ketchup a few hours ahead
                    - To make the bacon ketchup, heat a large frying pan, add the bacon (no need for oil) and cook on a medium heat until very crisp. Drain on paper towel and then chop finely. Mix with the ketchup, paprika and vinegar in a small bowl, then set aside. Keep the frying pan for cooking the eggs.
 - Heat the barbecue, or alternatively use a griddle pan. Cook the burgers following pack instructions, making sure that they are cooked through. If using a griddle pan, pour off any excess fat from the burgers, then toast the cut sides of the buns.
 - If you're doing the eggs, heat the oil in the bacon frying pan. Crack in the eggs separately; season. When the whites are set and the yolks cooked to your liking (3-5 minutes), remove from the heat.
 - Arrange the burgers on the buns and top each with an egg (if using), a generous dollop of bacon ketchup and a handful of rocket.
