Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef (preferably 80/20 for juiciness)

4 slices of sharp cheddar cheese

4 hamburger buns (toasted)

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 large dill pickle, sliced

Fresh lettuce leaves

Sliced tomatoes

Optional: crispy bacon strips

Instructions
 

Prep the Beef Mix: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined—avoid overworking the meat.

    Shape and Cook Patties: Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Use your hands to form patties slightly larger than the bun, as they will shrink while cooking. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil to prevent sticking.

      Cook the Patties: Once hot, add the patties to the skillet or grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side without pressing down (to keep them juicy). Flip, and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach your desired doneness.

        Make the Sauce: While the burgers are cooking, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.

          Assemble the Burgers: To assemble, spread the mayo-Dijon mixture on the toasted buns. Layer with fresh lettuce, a burger patty with melted cheese, pickle slices, and tomato. If desired, add crispy bacon for extra flavor.

            Serve: Close the burgers with the top bun, and enjoy your delicious Crack Burgers with your favorite sides like fries or a garden salad!
