Crack Burger Recipe

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 22 minutes

Ingredients

2 pound ground beef (I like 80/20)

¼ cup sour cream

3 tablespoons ranch dressing mix

8 strips bacon (cooked and crumbled)

1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)

6 slices cheddar cheese

6 brioche buns

lettuce

tomato

pickles

mustard

mayonnaise

Directions

Combine

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Blend the ingredients until evenly combined using your hands or a sturdy spoon.

Shape the mixture into six hamburger patties. To ensure uniform cooking, aim for patties that are the same size and thickness. Create a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during grilling.

Preheat your grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium heat.

Cook the patties to your preferred level of doneness. Use a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet on the stovetop. Flip the burgers gently to prevent breaking.

Check Temperature

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature:- For medium-rare, aim for 130–135°F- For medium, target 140–145°F- For well-done, cook to 160°F

Rest

Let the burgers rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.

Serve

Place the burgers on brioche hamburger buns and top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, and mayonnaise. Add any additional toppings you like, such as raw or caramelized onions or avocado.
