Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb ground chuck
- 3 Tbsp sour cream
- 2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix
- ⅓ cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Hamburger buns
Toppings
- Lettuce
- Tomato slices
- Mustard
- Mayonnaise
- Optional: pickles, onions, avocado, or other favorite condiments
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined using your hands or a sturdy spoon, but be careful not to overmix to keep the burgers tender. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into a hamburger patty of uniform size and thickness. Press a small dimple into the center of each patty to help prevent puffing during cooking. Wet your hands with cold water while shaping to prevent sticking.
- Grill Patties: Preheat your grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium heat. Cook the patties carefully to avoid breaking them, flipping once until they reach your desired doneness: 130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium, or 160°F for well-done. Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain juiciness. Let them rest for a few minutes after cooking to redistribute juices.
- Assemble and Serve: Place the cooked patties on toasted hamburger buns and add your preferred toppings such as lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo. Feel free to customize with pickles, onions, avocado, or additional condiments for a unique burger experience.
