# Steps:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon slices and cook until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

Add chopped onions and ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Season with salt and black pepper. Drain the mixture well, reserving approximately 2 tablespoons of drippings in the skillet.
03 -
Pour the lightly beaten eggs into the skillet with the reserved drippings. Cook and scramble into small curds.
04 -
Return the cooked ground beef and onions to the skillet with the scrambled eggs. Stir to combine evenly.
05 -
Incorporate cooked white rice, ketchup, yellow mustard, and diced dill pickles into the skillet. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
06 -
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese until incorporated. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly on top and allow it to melt with residual heat.
07 -
Top the dish with shredded iceberg lettuce, diced Roma tomatoes, and crispy bacon pieces. Serve immediately.
# Tips:
01 -
Reserve 2 tablespoons of beef drippings in the skillet to enhance flavor and prevent sticking when cooking eggs.
