  2. Separate the mixture into four equal portions and form each one into a round patty shape.
  3. Melt 1/2 of the butter in a pan, add the thin onion rings and cook them until they are browned, then drain and set aside to keep warm.
  4. Preheat a skillet or grill, lightly brushing the cooking surface with oil.
  5. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until done, then place a slice of cheese on top of each one.
  6. As the patties cook, melt the rest of the butter in another skillet and fry the eggs and bacon until they are cooked to your liking.
  7. Lightly toast the halved hamburger buns and place the bottom halves on your serving plates.
  8. On each bun base, layer shredded lettuce, a tomato slice, sliced beetroot, a pineapple ring, then the meat patty, followed by the onion rings, bacon, a fried egg and finally the bun top.
