It’s hearty, comforting, and packed with umami from the rich brown gravy and seared beef. Serve it for a satisfying brunch or a cozy weeknight dinner when you want a filling island-style classic.

Hawaiian Loco Moco
  1. 1

    Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and warm it over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Split the ground chuck into four equal portions and shape them into patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the patties in the hot skillet until they start to firm, are hot, and remain slightly pink in the center, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer the patties to a plate, leaving the drippings in the skillet.

  4. 4

    Stir the onion and water into the reserved drippings. Lower the heat to low and cook until the onion is slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms; cook and stir until the mushrooms are cooked through, about 5 minutes more.

  5. 5

    Pour the gravy over the onion-mushroom mixture and stir. Cook until the gravy is hot, about 5 minutes. Gently place the patties into the gravy and simmer until warmed through.

  6. 6

    While the patties simmer in the gravy, coat a separate skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Fry the eggs in the hot skillet until the whites are opaque but the yolks stay runny, 2 to 3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Spoon the cooked rice onto four plates. Place a beef patty on each portion of rice and top each patty with an egg. Divide the gravy evenly over each serving.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
