Instructions
Creating Crack Burgers is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Prep the Grill: Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat.
2. Mix the Meat: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
3. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.
4. Grill the Patties: Place the patties on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side until a crust forms.
5. Flip and Add Cheese: Flip the patties carefully and place a slice of cheese on top. Grill for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese melts and the patty reaches your desired doneness.
6. Toast the Buns: During the last few minutes of cooking, place the burger buns on the grill to toast lightly.
7. Assemble the Burgers: Remove the patties and buns from the grill. Layer lettuce, tomato, and pickles on the bottom bun. Add the burger patty with cheese on top, followed by your choice of mustard, ketchup, or mayonnaise.
8. Top It Off: Place the top bun over the assembled ingredients.
9. Serve Immediately: For best results, serve the burgers hot off the grill.
