Ingredients
– 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 4 slices of cheddar cheese
– Burger buns (4)
– Special sauce (mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard mixed to taste)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create the ultimate Crack Burgers:
1. Preheat Your Grill or Skillet: If you’re grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, place it on medium heat.
2. Mix the Beef: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently, being careful not to overwork the meat.
3. Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, slightly larger than your buns since they will shrink while cooking.
4. Cook the Patties: Place the patties onto the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip.
5. Add Cheese: After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melty and the burger reaches your desired doneness.
6. Toast the Buns: While the patties are cooking, split the burger buns and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
7. Assemble the Burgers: Spread the special sauce on the bottom half of each bun, place a cheese-topped patty on top, and finish with your choice of additional toppings, such as lettuce, tomatoes, or pickles.
8. Top it Off: Place the top half of the bun on each burger, creating a complete meal ready to be enjoyed.
