Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend recommended for juiciness)
1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 ounce)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Burger buns (4-6, depending on patties)
Toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, and your favorite condiments (ketchup, mustard, etc.)
IInstructions:
Prepare the Burger Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ranch seasoning mix, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.
Form the Patties:
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
Cook the Burgers:
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, you can add a little oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Adjust cooking time according to your preferred level of doneness. If desired, top each patty with a slice of cheese during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Toast the Buns:
While the burgers are cooking, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
Assemble the Crack Burgers:
Once the burgers are cooked, place each patty on a toasted bun. Add your desired toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, and condiments.
Serve:
