Description

These easy egg-topped burgers come with crispy bacon, sauteed onion, and American cheese for tons of delicious flavor.

Ingredients

1 pound ground chuck
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 slices bacon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
4 large eggs
4 slices American cheese
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 hamburger buns, split and toasted

Directions

1 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2 Shape beef into 4 equal patties and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
3 Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
4 At the same time, heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion slices in the hot oil until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
5 Cook patties on the preheated grill until browned and no longer pink, 4 to 5 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Top each with American cheese and allow to melt, about 1 minute more.
6 At the same time, crack eggs into a nonstick skillet over medium heat. 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 Place each patty on a bottom bun and top with a fried egg, 2 slices of bacon, onions, mayonnaise, and a bun top. Serve.
