Ingredients
For the Burgers:
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean for juicy burgers)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- Cheddar cheese slices (or your favorite cheese)
- Burger buns, toasted
- Lettuce, tomato, and pickles for topping (optional)
For the Crack Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 1 tablespoon honey (for a slight sweetness)
Instructions
1. Make the Crack Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ketchup, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and honey until smooth.
- Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside. This will be the creamy, tangy sauce that gives the Crack Burgers their signature flavor.
2. Prepare the Burgers
- Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
- Form the ground beef into 4 equal-sized patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper, and drizzle with Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor if desired.
- Grill or cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- In the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.
3. Assemble the Crack Burgers
- Toast your burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
- Spread a generous amount of the crack sauce on the bottom bun.
- Place the cheesy burger patty on top and add any desired toppings like lettuce, tomato, and pickles.
- Drizzle more of the crack sauce on the top bun and place it on top of the burger.
