Crafting the perfect crack burger is a simple process if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Gently mix until combined, ensuring not to overwork the meat.

3. Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Form each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

4. Grill the Patties: Place the patties on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side and then flip them over.

5. Add the Cheese: After flipping, grill for an additional 5 minutes and top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese during the last minute to allow it to melt.

6. Toasting the Buns: While the patties finish cooking, place the burger buns cut side down on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden and toasted.

7. Assemble the Burgers: On the bottom half of each bun, spread your choice of condiments, add the grilled patty, and then layer on lettuce, tomato, and onion. Top with the other half of the bun.

8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your crack burgers while they’re hot and juicy!
