Creating these delicious Crack Burgers is easy when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined.
2. Form Patties: Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions. Form each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick.
3. Preheat Grill/Pan: Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. You can add a splash of oil to prevent sticking if using a skillet.
4. Cook Patties: Place the patties onto the hot grill or pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
5. Add Cheese: In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover them to let the cheese melt.
6. Toast Buns: While the cheese melts, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in the pan.
7. Assemble the Burgers: Place lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by the patty with melted cheese, then layer with tomato slices and pickles.
8. Add Sauce: Drizzle your choice of special sauce on top and crown with the top bun.
9. Serve Immediately: Serve the burgers right away while they are hot and juicy.

These straightforward steps will help you create the most amazing Crack Burgers effortlessly!
