Crack Burger – burgers loaded with cheddar, bacon, and ranch! Our all-time favorite burger! We always make extra and freeze the patties for later.
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!

I love your recipes/pictures, but practically everything you make has Ranch something or other in it..!
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.
Looks delish! Just found your site through pinterest! I made your honey lime chicken tonight. Came out delish! Looking forward to making these next!
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!!
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

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!!
That is one great looking burger Steph – we love burgers mixed up with stuff in them.
These look so easy and so yummy!
CRRAAAAACK !!!!
Yum! I cannot wait to try this recipe!
I do this with ground turkey, but use 1 small pkg of Ranch Dressing, plus the cheese! Divine!
oh yeah, I can see how you could get addicted to those
Lea Ann – I love that you are "cracked up" over my crack burgers! LOL!
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!!!
This looks so delicious that it's got me drooling and it isn't even 9AM 🙂
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. 🙂
