Add Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder to beef mixture.

Mix crack seasoning ingredients together in small bowl until well combined.

Gently mix half of crack seasoning into beef mixture, being careful not to overmix.

Form beef mixture into 6 equal patties, slightly larger than bun size.

Make small indentation in center of each patty to prevent puffing.

Season both sides of patties with remaining crack seasoning blend.

Oil grill grates or add oil to skillet to prevent sticking.

Cook patties for 4-5 minutes on first side without pressing down.

Flip patties and cook for 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

Top each patty with cheddar and American cheese slices during last minute.

Cover with foil or grill lid to melt cheese completely.

Meanwhile, slice buns in half and butter cut sides lightly.

Toast buns on grill or in toaster until golden brown.

Mix all crack sauce ingredients together in small bowl until smooth.

Remove patties from grill and let rest for 2 minutes.

Spread crack sauce on both sides of toasted buns generously.
