how to make Crack Burgers

Ingredients:

• 1½ lb ground chuck
• 3 Tbsp sour cream
• 2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix
• ⅓ cup cooked and crumbled bacon
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
2. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
3. Form the mixture into four evenly sized hamburger patties, each about ¾ inch thick.
4. Let the patties rest at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before cooking. This helps the flavors meld together and ensures the patties hold their shape when cooked.
5. Grill the patties over medium heat on a preheated grill, flipping only once, until they reach your desired doneness. For a medium-rare burger, cook to an internal temperature of 145°F, and for well-done, cook to 160°F.

how to serve Crack Burgers

Serve your Crack Burgers on fresh hamburger buns. You can add toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, and extra ranch dressing or cheese if you like. Pair them with fries or a simple salad for a great meal!

how to store Crack Burgers

If you have leftover burgers, let them cool down to room temperature. Then, wrap them in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the uncooked patties by separating them with parchment paper and placing them in a freezer bag.

tips to make Crack Burgers
