Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 large eggs
• 6 slices bacon
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• 3 slices American cheese
• 1 pound ground chuck (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 3 roll (blank)s hamburger buns, split

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cook bacon on the flat top grill over medium heat until browned and crispy, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, mix ground chuck, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together with your hands. Divide into 3 portions and roll into balls.

Step 3

Remove bacon from the flat top and increase heat to medium-high.

Step 4

Pour flour onto a plate and roll burgers around in the flour until well coated. Pour 1 tablespoon oil onto the hot grill.

Step 5

Place 1 of the burgers onto the oiled flat top and press down firmly until it forms a patty, about 1/2-inch thick; repeat for other 2 burgers. Cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Use a firm, metal spatula to flip patties in order to scrape up all of the crust. Continue to cook until browned and no longer pink, 4 to 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the burgers should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Step 6

Reduce heat to medium and add remaining oil. Crack eggs onto the grill. Cook until outer edges become opaque, about 1 minute. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until whites are completely set, about 4 minutes.

Step 7

Assemble burgers in the buns with American cheese, bacon, and egg.
