Instructions
Creating Crack Burgers is an easy and enjoyable process. Follow these simple steps to make your very own delicious burgers:
1. Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.
2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing while cooking.
3. Preheat the Grill or Skillet: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or place a skillet over medium heat on the stovetop.
4. Cook the Burgers: Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.
5. Cheese Application (Optional): If desired, add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty after flipping. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
6. Toast the Buns: During the last minute of cooking, place the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster to lightly toast them.
7. Assemble the Burgers: Once the patties are cooked and the buns are toasted, place each patty on a bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and your favorite sauces.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Crack Burgers while they’re hot and juicy!
