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
- In a large bowl, combine ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, cooked bacon, and shredded cheddar. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
- Shape the mixture into 4 patties, each about ¾ inch thick.
- Let the patties rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to help them hold their shape during grilling.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. Cook the patties, flipping once, until they reach your desired level of doneness (about 3-4 minutes per side).
- Serve on your favorite buns with additional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, or pickles.
Notes
- For a leaner option, swap out the ground chuck for ground turkey or chicken.
- Want a spicy twist? Use pepper jack cheese in place of cheddar.
- Freeze uncooked patties by layering them with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Store for up to 2 months.
- For best results, serve these burgers on soft brioche buns.
