Flat Top Grilled Burgers with Fried Eggs

1 . Stage

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

2 . Stage

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

3 . Stage

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

4 . Stage

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

5 . Stage

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).

6 . Stage

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.

7 . Stage

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