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

For Serving

  • Hamburger buns
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tomato slices
  • Mustard
  • Mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently using your hands or a spoon just until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender and juicy.
  2. Form Patties: Shape the mixture into 6 equal-sized hamburger patties, ensuring they are uniform in size and thickness for even cooking. Press a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during grilling. Wet your hands with cold water to prevent sticking while forming patties.
  3. Grill Patties: Preheat your grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium heat. Cook the patties carefully until they reach your desired doneness: 130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium, or 160°F for well done. Flip the burgers gently to avoid breaking, and don’t press down on them to preserve juiciness. Let the patties rest a few minutes after cooking.
  4. Assemble Burgers: Place each patty on a toasted hamburger bun. Top with fresh lettuce, tomato slices, mustard, and mayonnaise or other desired condiments. Optionally add pickles, onions, or avocado for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the meat mixture to keep burgers tender.
  • Wet your hands before forming patties to prevent sticking.
  • Press a dimple in each patty center to prevent puffing during cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check doneness for perfect results.
  • Let burgers rest briefly after grilling to lock in juices.
  • Toast buns before assembling for extra texture and flavor.
  • Customize toppings to suit your taste preference.
