Ingredients
1½ lb ground chuck
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix
⅓ cup cooked and crumbled bacon
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the burgers dense.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into hamburger patties about ¾ inch thick.
Let the patties rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before cooking.
Preheat a grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates if needed.
Place the patties on the grill and cook, flipping only once during cooking.
Grill until the burgers reach your preferred level of doneness:
Medium-Rare: 145°F (63°C)
Medium: 160°F (71°C)
Remove from the grill and allow the burgers to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve on toasted burger buns with your favorite toppings and condiments.
Notes
Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for the best melting texture.
Thick-cut bacon adds extra smoky flavor and crunch.
Avoid pressing down on the burgers while cooking to retain their juices.
These burgers pair well with lettuce, tomato, pickles, caramelized onions, and extra ranch dressing.
For a spicy variation, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the burger mixture.
