Savor the irresistible flavor of Crack Burgers with juicy ground beef patties, melted American cheese, and tangy pickles, served on toasted buns. Perfect for a quick, satisfying meal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Use your hands to mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly butter the cut sides of the hamburger buns and toast them in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Set aside.
Place the beef patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side until browned and slightly crispy. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Place one slice of American cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover the skillet with a lid or a piece of foil to help the cheese melt.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top each with a cheese-covered patty, followed by 2 tablespoons of pickle slices and 1 tablespoon of chopped onion. Place the top bun on each burger and serve immediately.
