Crack Burger


Behold "The Crack Burger" - burgers packed full of cheddar cheese, bacon and ranch flavor.  These burgers tasted fantastic!  They were super juicy and packed full of great flavor.  We topped the burgers with lettuce, tomato, mustard and mayo.  Make sure to use at least ground chuck - the burgers will fall apart if your beef if too lean.  I also suggest flipping the burgers only once - allow the burger to cook for 4 minutes and then flip and cook an additional 4 minutes for medium or 5 minutes for medium-well burgers.  This recipe is not to be missed!  Click the blue "save recipe" button below to add this to your ZipList recipe box ASAP!!

You crack me up with your "crack" recipes. I made your crack potatoes back when and trust me, I pay attention when you indicate a as such. :)

If it were up to my husband, we would have hamburgers every single night. This means I'm always on the lookout for new hamburger idea's. Thank you so much for sharing this one, it looks delicious!!!

The Japanese Redneck said...

oh yeah, I can see how you could get addicted to those

I do this with ground turkey, but use 1 small pkg of Ranch Dressing, plus the cheese! Divine!

I have a question. My husband doesn't BBQ so I have refused to do it. Can this be done on the stove or in the oven?

Thanks

Lynn

Absolutely Lynn! Either way will work. Sometimes I sear the burgers on one side and flip them over and finish them off in the oven. Hope you enjoy the burgers!!

bethgould said...

Oh hell yeah, the Crack Bread was amazing, and so I KNOW this burger will be even better! My boyfriend loves a good burger, and he's a great griller. I'll make these up and have him grill them. Very soon!!

Looks delish! Just found your site through pinterest! I made your honey lime chicken tonight. Came out delish! Looking forward to making these next!

If you use a a packet of dry ranch dressing it makes it all much easier to manage on the grill or in the skillet.

Unknown said...

I love your recipes/pictures, but practically everything you make has Ranch something or other in it..!

Autumn said...

This is dry or wet ranch?

Steph@PlainChicken.com said...

Autumn - use the dry mix. If you want to use the prepared dressing - substitute it for the mix and sour cream

Steph, these burgers look awesome. I don't quite understand why choose to call recipes "crack". I find it disturbing to equate these wonderful recipes with a drug term.

Mama_of_four said...

She based it off the recipe for a dip she posted that everyone called crack because it's so good you want more and more....it's just a joke, if you are cooking it for someone and they asked what it's called just say "burgers". Don't take silly things like this to heart!

Clean Diva said...

Anything with crack in the title is bound to make me want to make it immediately. These look amazing. just amazing.

cajuncutie said...

One question please....what kind of fries are those you show with this awesome burger? They look fan-tas-ticly yummy!!!

Stephanie Parker said...

cajuncutie - those are Rally's/Checker's fries. I got them at Wal-Mart. I think Target sells them too
