Instructions
Creating incredible Crack Burgers is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Shape the Patties: Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a round patty, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.
3. Preheat Your Grill or Skillet: Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure it’s nice and hot before placing the patties on it.
4. Cook the Patties: Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip them over.
5. Add Cheese: After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your preferred doneness.
6. Toast the Buns: While the patties finish cooking, cut the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a separate skillet.
7. Assemble the Burgers: Once cooked, remove the patties from heat. On the bottom half of each bun, place some lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, sliced tomatoes, and pickles. Top it off with ketchup and mayonnaise to taste, then cover with the top half of the bun.
8. Serve: Place the assembled burgers on a serving plate and enjoy immediately.
