Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lb ground chuck Perfect fat-to-meat ratio for juicy burgers.
  • 3 Tbsp sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix
  • ⅓ cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  2. Mix until just combined; overworking the meat gives it a tough texture.
  3. Form the mixture into four evenly sized hamburger patties, each about ¾ inch thick.
  4. Let the patties rest at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before cooking.
Cooking
  1. Grill the patties over medium heat on a preheated grill, flipping only once, until they reach your desired doneness.
  2. For a medium-rare burger, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F; for well-done, go for 160°F.

Notes

Serve with crispy lettuce, juicy tomatoes, crunchy pickles, smoky BBQ sauce or a creamy ranch drizzle. These burgers can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave or skillet to enjoy the char.
