Creating the perfect Crack Burger is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat a Grill or Skillet: Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
3. Form Patties: Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty that is slightly larger than the burger buns, as they will shrink while cooking.
4. Cook the Patties: Place the patties on the heated grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.
5. Add Cheese: Once flipped, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until they reach your desired doneness and the cheese melts.
6. Toast the Buns: While the burgers are cooking, place the buns on the grill or skillet, cut side down. Toast until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
7. Assemble the Crack Burgers: Start by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Then, add the cheesy burger patty.
8. Add Toppings: Top the patty with sliced tomatoes, pickles, and your favorite condiments—mustard and ketchup are classic choices.
9. Close the Burger: Place the top half of the bun on your creations and press down slightly.
10. Serve: Ready to be enjoyed!
