Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
4 brioche burger buns
4 slices cheddar cheese
4 slices bacon
4 large eggs
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter (for grilling)
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Special Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp pickle relish
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame Grill

Light your Arteflame grill using vegetable oil-soaked napkins and stacked firewood. Let it heat for about 20 minutes. Use the center grate for searing the burgers, and the outer flat top for grilling the bacon, onions, and frying the eggs.

Step 2: Grill the Bacon

Lay the bacon slices on the flat top griddle and grill until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, move the bacon aside to keep warm.

Step 3: Caramelize the Onions

Melt butter on the flat top griddle and cook the sliced onions until they are soft and caramelized, about 7-10 minutes. Set them aside to keep warm.

Step 4: Shape the Burger Patties

Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾ inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 5: Grill the Burgers

Place the patties on the hot center grate and sear for 3-4 minutes per side to develop a nice crust. Move the patties to the outer flat top and top with a slice of cheddar cheese. Let the cheese melt while the burgers finish cooking to your preferred doneness.

Step 6: Fry the Eggs

On the flat top, melt a little butter and crack the eggs directly onto the griddle. Cook sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness.

Step 7: Toast the Buns

Butter the brioche buns and place them on the outer flat top for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8: Make the Special Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, pickle relish, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Step 9: Assemble the "Oh My God" Burgers

Spread the special sauce on both sides of the toasted buns. Place a lettuce leaf and tomato slice on the bottom bun, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese. Add crispy bacon, caramelized onions, and a fried egg. Cap with the top bun.

Step 10: Serve

Serve the Oh My God Burger hot with a side of fries or onion rings for an indulgent, over-the-top meal.

Grilling Tips

High heat for searing: Use the center grate for a nice crust on the burger while keeping it juicy inside.
Fry the egg to perfection: Cook the egg sunny-side up for a runny yolk, or cook longer for a firmer yolk, depending on your preference.

Conclusion

The Grilled Oh My God Burger is a towering, indulgent masterpiece, combining juicy beef, melted cheese, crispy bacon, caramelized onions, and a perfectly fried egg. This burger is so packed with flavor, you'll be saying "Oh my God" after the first bite!
