Creating the perfect Crack Burgers is simple and rewarding with these clear steps:

1. Form the Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and form into four equally sized patties.
2. Preheat the Grill or Skillet: Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
3. Cook the Patties: Add the burger patties to the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned.
4. Flip and Add Cheese: Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
5. Prepare the Buns: While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on another part of the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
6. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and relish to create the special sauce.
7. Assemble the Burgers: Start with the bottom half of the toasted bun. Add a generous layer of the special sauce, followed by a lettuce leaf, the burger patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and pickles. Top with the bun.
8. Serve: Once assembled, serve the Crack Burgers immediately while hot and juicy.
