Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 4 burger buns (brioche or potato recommended)
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 8 strips cooked bacon

For the crack sauce:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 strips cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1 tbsp chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Form into 4 equal patties.
  2. Grill or pan-fry patties over medium-high heat for about 4–5 minutes per side or until cooked through.
  3. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and cover to melt.
  4. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, ranch seasoning, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, and green onions until smooth to make the crack sauce.
  5. Lightly toast burger buns.
  6. Spread crack sauce on the bottom bun, place a cheesy burger patty on top, and add two bacon strips. Spread more sauce on the top bun if desired and assemble.
  7. Serve hot with sides like fries, chips, or coleslaw.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter burger.
  • Add chopped jalapeños or hot sauce to the crack sauce for heat.
  • Top with avocado slices or a fried egg for extra richness.
  • Make the crack sauce ahead of time for deeper flavor.
  • Store cooked patties and sauce separately for best results.
