Instructions
Creating the Perfect Game Day Crack Burger is simple. Follow these steps for a delicious reward:
1. Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the Burger Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently, being careful not to overwork the meat.
3. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form them into burger patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
4. Grill the Patties: Place the patties on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side.
5. Add Cheese: Flip the patties and add a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Grill for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach your desired doneness.
6. Toast the Buns: While the patties finish cooking, place the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.
7. Assemble the Burgers: Spread mayonnaise and mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Place a burger patty on top.
8. Top It Off: Add diced pickles, crumbled bacon, avocado slices, lettuce, and tomatoes.
9. Finish Assembly: Place the top half of the bun on each burger and ensure everything is secured.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Place the burgers on a platter and serve immediately.
