Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup crispy bacon bits (optional but recommended)
- 4 brioche buns or burger buns of your choice
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: pickles, lettuce, tomato, red onion, for toppings
Instructions
- Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and gently form each into a patty slightly larger than your buns. Season with salt and pepper. Mix some grated cheese into the beef if desired.
- Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high. Cook patties 4-5 minutes per side. During the last minute, top each with shredded cheddar cheese and cover to melt.
- While patties cook, toast buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster. Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and Dijon mustard on the bottom buns.
- Assemble the burgers by placing cheese-topped patties on the buns. Add bacon bits and desired toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, and red onion. Cover with top buns and serve immediately for the ultimate cheesy crack burger experience.
Notes
- For extra cheesy flavor, mix cheese into the ground meat before forming patties.
- Use high-quality cheese for richer taste and better meltability.
- Toast buns until golden for added crunch.
