Crack Burgers are ultra-juicy beef patties packed with bacon, cheddar, cream cheese, and ranch seasoning. Bold, rich, and addictively flavorful, they’re perfect for cookouts or indulgent weeknight dinners.
1½ lbs ground beef (80/20)
½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
2 green onions, finely chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
4–6 burger buns
Cook and crumble bacon; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine beef, bacon, cheddar, cream cheese, green onions, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
Divide and shape into 4–6 patties, pressing an indentation in the center of each.
Heat grill or skillet to medium-high. Cook patties 4–5 minutes per side, or until internal temp reaches 160°F.
Toast buns if desired. Assemble burgers with preferred toppings.
Rest patties for 3–5 minutes before serving.
Chill patties before cooking if mixture is soft.
Use turkey for a leaner version.
Freeze raw patties up to 3 months.
