Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb ground chuck Use 80/20 for best flavor and juiciness.
  • 3 Tbsp sour cream Adds moisture and creaminess.
  • 2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix Provides seasoning without measuring multiple spices.
  • cup cooked and crumbled bacon Can substitute with turkey or beef bacon.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Shredding your own is recommended for better melting.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until just combined.
  • Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties about ¾ inch thick. Press a dent in the center of each patty.
  • Let the patties rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.

Cooking

  • Preheat the grill to medium heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill.
  • Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side, flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the desired doneness is reached.
  • After cooking, let the burgers rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Patties can also be mixed and shaped up to 24 hours in advance.
