Ingredients
Burger Ingredients
- 1½ lb ground chuck
- 3 Tbsp sour cream
- 2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix
- ⅓ cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
- Form the mixture into four evenly sized hamburger patties, each about ¾ inch thick.
- Let the patties rest at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before cooking. This helps the flavors meld together and ensures the patties hold their shape when cooked.
Cooking
- Grill the patties over medium heat on a preheated grill, flipping only once, until they reach your desired doneness. For a medium-rare burger, cook to an internal temperature of 145°F, and for well-done, cook to 160°F.
Notes
Serve with toasted buns and a variety of toppings. A burger bar with jalapeños, onion rings, and guacamole adds fun customization for guests. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
