# Directions:
01 -
In a large bowl, mix together ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined. Avoid overmixing to keep burgers tender.
02 -
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into a patty. Create a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking. Wet your hands with cold water to prevent sticking.
03 -
Cook patties on a preheated grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium heat. Flip carefully and cook to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer: 130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium, and 160°F for well-done. Let rest before serving.
04 -
Place patties on hamburger buns and top with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayonnaise. Add other toppings, such as pickles or avocado, as desired. Toast buns for additional texture if preferred.
