Ingredients
Burger Mixture
- 1.5 lb ground chuck Use ground beef for best flavor.
- 3 Tbsp sour cream
- 2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix
- ⅓ cup cooked and crumbled bacon Adds smokiness.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Toppings
- Hamburger buns Choose your favorite type.
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Mustard
- Mayo (for topping)
Method
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Use your hands or a sturdy spoon to mix until well combined but don’t overmix.
- Form the mixture into 6 hamburger patties, making them the same size and thickness. Press a small dimple in the center of each to help them cook evenly and prevent puffing.
Cooking
- Grill the patties to your desired doneness over medium heat. Flip them carefully to keep them intact and use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium, and 160°F for well-done). Avoid pressing down on them while grilling.
- Let the burgers rest for a few minutes after grilling to keep them juicy.
Serving
- Serve the burgers on your favorite hamburger buns with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo, or add any other toppings you like.

Notes
Make sure not to overmix the meat while preparing the patties, or they may turn out tough. Use cold water on your hands while forming patties to keep the meat from sticking. Preheat your grill or skillet before adding the patties for better searing. Let the burgers rest after cooking to keep them juicy.
