Instructions
Follow these steps to create your delicious Crack Burgers:
1. Preheat Your Grill: Heat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the Beef Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined.
3. Form Patties: Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indent in the center of each to prevent puffing while cooking.
4. Grill the Patties: Place the patties on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side, then flip.
5. Add Cheese: After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the cheese melts and the burgers reach your desired doneness.
6. Cook Bacon: While the patties are grilling, cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
7. Toast the Buns: On the grill or in a separate pan, lightly toast the hamburger buns until golden brown.
8. Assemble the Burgers: Place the cooked patties with melted cheese on the bottom half of each bun.
9. Add Toppings: Top with crispy bacon, lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, and dill pickles.
10. Drizzle with Sauce: Spread the special sauce on the top half of each bun and place them on the burgers.
