Crack Burgers: The Incredible Ultimate Recipe You Must Try


  • Author: Lina Carter
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 4 slices cheddar cheese (optional)
– 4 burger buns
– 1 cup lettuce, shredded
– 1 tomato, sliced
– 1/2 cup pickles, sliced
– 1/4 cup mayonnaise
– 1/4 cup ketchup
– 2 tablespoons mustard
– Hot sauce (to taste)


Instructions

Creating mouthwatering Crack Burgers is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.

2. Form Patties: Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

3. Preheat the Grill or Pan: Preheat your grill or frying pan over medium-high heat. For best results, ensure the cooking surface is well-oiled.

4. Cook the Patties: Place the patties on the grill or pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for an additional 4 minutes for medium-rare, adding a slice of cheese on top for the last minute to melt.

5. Toast the Buns: Meanwhile, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a separate pan until golden brown.

6. Assemble the Burgers: Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add the cooked patty, followed by lettuce, tomato, and pickles.

7. Finishing Touch: Place the top half of the bun over the burger and press down gently to secure all components.

8. Rest the Burgers: Let the burgers rest on a plate for about 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
