Description
The crack burger is a simple yet flavorful dish that evokes memories of backyard barbecues, combining fresh ingredients for a delightful experience.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Mayonnaise
- Ketchup
Instructions
- Combine the ground beef, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form them into patties, creating a slight indentation in the center of each.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.
- Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.
- Toast the hamburger buns, if desired.
- Layer lettuce leaves and tomato slices on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked burger patty.
- Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on the top bun before placing it over the patty to complete the burger.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries, onion rings, or a fresh salad.
Notes
To ensure juicy burgers, avoid overmixing the ground beef. Let the cooked burgers rest for a minute before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
