How to Make Crack Burgers

Step 1: Prepare the Burger Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, ranch seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands—overmixing can make the burgers tough.

Step 2: Shape the Patties

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about ½ inch thick. If using an egg, mix it in before shaping the patties to help bind them. Press a small dent in the center of each patty with your thumb—this helps them cook evenly without puffing up.

Step 3: Cook the Burgers

Grill Method:
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).

Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for well-done.

Stovetop Method:
Heat a skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, flipping only once.

Oven Method:
Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Place the patties on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 4: Toast the Buns

Spread a little butter on the inside of each bun and toast them on the grill or in a pan until golden brown.

Step 5: Assemble and Serve

Place the cooked burger patties on the toasted buns and add your favorite toppings. Whether you love classic lettuce and tomato or go all out with extra bacon and BBQ sauce, you can’t go wrong!

These burgers pair perfectly with:

Pro Tips for the Best Crack Burgers

Use 80/20 ground beef – This fat ratio keeps the burgers juicy and flavorful.

Don’t overmix – Gently combine the ingredients to avoid tough burgers.

Let the patties rest – After cooking, let the burgers rest for a few minutes to lock in the juices.

Melt extra cheese on top – Add a slice of cheddar or pepper jack in the last minute of cooking.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?

Yes! Ground turkey works well, but it’s leaner, so add a little olive oil or an extra egg to keep it moist.

Can I make these burgers ahead of time?

Absolutely! Shape the patties and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before cooking.

Can I freeze Crack Burgers?

Yes! Wrap uncooked patties individually in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before cooking.
