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, tomato, mustard, mayo (for topping)

Instructions

  1. 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. Use your hands or a sturdy spoon to mix the ingredients thoroughly. Beginner Note: Don’t overmix the meat, as this can result in tough burgers. Mix just until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Ensure all ingredients are well incorporated for a consistent flavor.
  2. Form Patties Form the mixture into 6 hamburger patties. To ensure even cooking, try to make the patties the same size and thickness. Use a burger press or the lid of a container to help shape the patties. Press a small dimple in the center of each patty before grilling. This will help prevent the burgers from puffing up in the middle. Beginner Note: Wet your hands with cold water before forming the patties to prevent the meat from sticking. Make sure the patties are not too thick, or they will take longer to cook.
  3. Grill Patties Grill the patties to your desired doneness, being careful as the burgers will be very moist. Use a grill pan, outdoor grill, or even a skillet on the stovetop. Cook the burgers over medium heat. Flip them carefully to avoid breaking. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare burgers, cook to 130-135°F. For medium burgers, cook to 140-145°F. For well-done burgers, cook to 160°F. Don’t press down on the patties while they are grilling, as this will release the juices and make the burgers dry. Beginner Note: Preheat the grill or skillet before adding the patties. Use a timer to ensure even cooking. Let the burgers rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.
  4. Serve Serve the burgers on your favorite hamburger buns, topped with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo. You can add other toppings, such as pickles, onions, avocado, or your favorite condiments. Beginner Note: Toast the buns for a crispier texture. Consider using a variety of toppings to create a unique burger experience.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overmix the meat for tender burgers
  • Keep patties uniform in size for even cooking
  • Preheat the grill or skillet before grilling for best results
