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
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Use your hands or a sturdy spoon to blend the ingredients just until evenly combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the burgers tender.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into six evenly sized hamburger patties. Wet your hands with cold water to prevent sticking and press a small dimple in the center of each patty. This helps them cook evenly and prevents puffing up in the middle.
- Preheat and Grill Patties: Preheat your grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium heat. Cook the patties carefully over medium heat, flipping once to achieve your desired doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium, 160°F for well done). Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain juiciness.
- Rest and Assemble: Let the grilled burgers rest a few minutes to redistribute juices. Meanwhile, optionally toast the hamburger buns. Serve the burgers on buns with fresh lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayo, and any additional favorite toppings like pickles or onions.
Notes
- Do not overmix the meat mixture to prevent tough burgers.
- Wet your hands before shaping patties to avoid sticking.
- Press a dimple in the patties to prevent bubbling during cooking.
- Preheat your cooking surface for an even sear.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure correct doneness and safe cooking.
- Allow burgers to rest after grilling to keep them juicy.
- Toast buns for added texture and flavor.
