🍔 Crack Burgers: The Ultimate Juicy Delight! 🤤
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- Ground Beef: 1 pound (80/20 for juiciness)
- Onion Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Black Pepper: ½ teaspoon
- Cheddar Cheese: 4 slices (optional)
- Burger Buns: 4 (your choice)
- Lettuce: 4 leaves
- Tomato: 1, sliced
- Pickles: to taste
- Ketchup and Mustard: to taste
Directions:
- Prepare the Patties:
- In a bowl, combine the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat.
- Form the Patties:
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.
- Preheat the Grill or Skillet:
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a touch of oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Patties:
- Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms. Flip the patties.
- Add Cheese (Optional):
- If using cheese, place a slice on each patty after flipping. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Toast the Buns:
- While the burgers are finishing, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.
- Assemble the Burgers:
- On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the crack burgers immediately with your favorite sides like fries or a salad!
