How to Make Crack Burgers
Crack Burgers are incredibly easy to make, and the combination of juicy beef, melty cheese, and the creamy, spicy sauce makes for a mouthwatering meal.
- Prepare the Beef Patties: Start by seasoning the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide the meat into four portions and shape each portion into a patty. Make sure they’re not too thick, as they will cook faster.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 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 to melt perfectly.
- Prepare the Sauce: While the patties are cooking, mix together mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and dijon mustard in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of sriracha to make it as spicy as you like.
- Toast the Buns: While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a skillet until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Assemble the Burgers: Once the patties are ready, spread the special sauce on the bottom of each toasted bun. Add the cheese-covered patty and top with the other half of the bun. Optionally, add pickles or lettuce for extra crunch.
- Serve and Enjoy: These burgers are best enjoyed hot off the grill. The perfect combination of spicy sauce and juicy beef will have everyone coming back for more.
