Description
Crack Burgers are ultra-juicy, cheesy burgers made with just two main ingredients—ground beef and shredded cheddar. They’re simple to prepare, packed with bold flavor, and perfect for quick dinners or casual cookouts.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs ground beef (80/20)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, gently mix ground beef and shredded cheddar cheese until just combined.
- Divide mixture into 4–6 equal portions and shape into patties.
- Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.
- Remove from heat and let rest briefly before serving with your favorite buns and toppings.
Notes
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika for extra flavor.
- Try different cheeses like pepper jack or Colby Jack for variety.
- Top with lettuce, tomato, sautéed onions, or pickles for added texture and taste.
- Don’t overmix the beef to keep burgers tender.
- Resting the patties after cooking helps retain juices.
