Crack Burger Viral Recipe With Sour Cream

How to Make Crack Burger Viral Recipe With Sour Cream

1. 1

   Step 1: Make the sour-cream 'crack' sauce

   In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, half of the finely chopped onion (reserve the rest for garnish or the patties if you like), the minced garlic, 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir until smooth, taste and adjust seasoning — this tangy sauce is the flavor base, so make it slightly punchy. Refrigerate while you shape and cook the patties so the flavors meld.

   For this step

   • 1/2 cupSour cream
   • 1 smallYellow onion, finely chopped
   • 2 clovesGarlic, minced
   • 1 tbspWorcestershire sauce
   • 1 1/2 tspKosher salt
   • 1 tspFreshly ground black pepper

   Step 2: Season and form the patties

   Place the ground beef in a bowl and add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Gently mix just until combined (don’t overwork). Divide into four even portions and form into patties about 3/4-inch thick, pressing a slight dimple in the center of each to promote even cooking.

   For this step

   • 1 1/2 lbGround beef (80/20)

   Step 3: Cook the burgers and melt the cheese

   Heat a large heavy skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter. When hot, add the patties and cook undisturbed 3–4 minutes until well-browned, flip and cook another 3–4 minutes (adjust for desired doneness). During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a quarter cup of shredded cheddar and cover the pan briefly so the cheese melts.

   For this step

   • 1 cupShredded sharp cheddar

   Step 4: Toast the buns

   Remove the burgers to a resting plate. Lower heat to medium, add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the same skillet, split the buns and place cut-side down in the pan. Toast until golden and crisp, about 30–60 seconds — this adds flavor and prevents sogginess when assembled.

   For this step

   • 4 bun(s)Burger buns

   Step 5: Assemble and serve

   Spread a generous tablespoon (or more to taste) of the sour cream sauce on both the top and bottom buns, place a cheddar-topped patty on each bottom bun and finish with the reserved chopped onion or other toppings you like. Serve immediately — this recipe makes 4 burgers (one per serving).
