Creating Crack Burgers is a straightforward process that can be approached confidently. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:

1. Preheat Grill or Skillet: Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Do not overwork the mixture.
3. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, slightly larger than your buns.
4. Create a Dimple: Press your thumb gently into the center of each patty to create a dimple, which helps them cook evenly.
5. Cook Patties: Place patties on the grill or skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
6. Flip and Add Cheese: Flip the patties, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes. Add a slice of cheese on each patty in the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
7. Toast Buns: While the meat cooks, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
8. Assemble the Burger: Layer lettuce, tomato, pickles, and burger patty on the bottom bun. Drizzle with your favorite sauces and add the top bun.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the burgers while they are hot and fresh.

With these simple instructions, you’ll effortlessly create flavorful Crack Burgers that will impress everyone at your table.
