Ingredients
  

For the Burger Patties

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend) The star of the show, delivering rich, juicy flavor.
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped Adds a delicate crunch and aromatic essence.
  • 1/4 cup dill pickle relish The tangy burst that tantalizes your taste buds.
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise For a creamy, indulgent touch.
  • 1 tbsp mustard A dash of zesty sharpness.
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce Infuses deep umami notes into your mix.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder A savory aromatic punch.
  • to taste salt and pepper Essential seasonings to amplify flavor.

For Assembly

  • 4 slices American cheese Creamy and melty, the perfect topping.
  • 4 pieces hamburger buns Soft and pillowy, cradling the patty and toppings.
  • as needed Lettuce, tomato, and additional pickles Fresh, crisp textures to elevate your burger experience.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, dill pickle relish, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The mixture should come together with a beautifully aromatic scent.
  • Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each one into thick, juicy patties that are slightly larger than your buns.

Cooking

  • Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until it’s nice and hot. You should hear a delightful sizzle as you place each patty onto the grill.
  • Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until they reach your desired doneness; aim for a beautiful caramelized crust.
  • In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and cover the skillet or grill with a lid to help the cheese melt.
  • While the patties finish cooking, toast the hamburger buns until golden brown.
  • Assemble each burger by placing a patty on a toasted bun, topped with fresh lettuce, tomato slices, and additional pickles.

Serving

  • Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious flavors of your Crack Burgers!

Notes

For best results, use high-quality ground beef and avoid overmixing the patty mixture. Allow the patties to rest briefly after cooking.
