Ingredients

Scale

Core 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

Toppings

  • Hamburger buns
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato slices
  • Mustard
  • Mayo

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix the ingredients gently using your hands or a sturdy spoon until they are just evenly distributed. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender and juicy.
  2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into a hamburger patty. Press a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking. Wetting your hands with cold water before handling can help prevent sticking. Keep patties uniform in size and thickness to ensure even cooking.
  3. Grill Patties: Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties carefully, flipping only once, until they reach your desired internal temperature: 130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium, or 160°F for well-done. Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain juices. Once cooked, let the burgers rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  4. Serve: Place the cooked patties on hamburger buns and top with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo or your choice of condiments. Toast the buns if desired for added texture. Customize with additional toppings like pickles, onions, or avocado for a personalized burger experience.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the meat to avoid tough burgers.
  • Wet your hands with cold water to make patty formation easier and less sticky.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness accurately.
  • Press a small dimple in the center of patties to prevent them from puffing up.
  • Avoid pressing down on patties while cooking to keep them moist and juicy.
