Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until everything is well combined. Don't overmix the meat to avoid tough burgers.
- Form the mixture into 6 hamburger patties, making them even in size and thickness for uniform cooking. Press a small dimple in the center of each patty before grilling.
- Wet your hands with cold water before forming the patties to prevent sticking.
Grilling
- Grill the patties to your desired doneness over medium heat, flipping carefully.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer: 130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium, and 160°F for well-done.
- Preheat the grill or skillet beforehand and let the burgers rest for a few minutes after grilling.
Serving
- Serve the burgers on your favorite hamburger buns topped with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo.
- Offer a variety of toppings and condiments for personalization.
Notes
If you have leftovers, store the patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them on the stove or in the microwave. For longer storage, freeze uncooked patties wrapped in plastic wrap.
