  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Feel free to use a different cheese if preferred

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers juicy.
  2. Divide the mixture into 6 equal patties, pressing a small dimple into each patty to prevent puffing.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium heat.
  2. Grill the patties to your desired doneness: Medium-rare (130-135°F), Medium (140-145°F), Well-done (160°F).
Serving
  1. Place burgers on toasted buns and top with lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayo, or any favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze uncooked patties for up to 3 months. Sear in a skillet for reheating.
