Burger 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
  • 6 pieces hamburger buns
Toppings

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
  2. Form the mixture into 6 hamburger patties, ensuring to make them the same size and press a small dimple in the center of each patty.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your grill or skillet to medium heat.
  2. Cook the patties to your desired doneness, using a meat thermometer to check internal temperatures (Medium-rare: 130-135°F, Medium: 140-145°F, Well-done: 160°F).
  3. Let the burgers rest for a few minutes after grilling.
Serving
  1. Serve on your favorite hamburger buns, topped with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo. Toasting your buns is recommended.

Notes

These burgers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container, or frozen for 2-3 months. Reheat on low heat with a splash of water to keep them moist. Skip the overmixing for juicier burgers. Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors!
