Combine Ingredients:
In a large bowl, mix together the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, bacon, and cheddar cheese just until combined. Avoid overmixing.Form Patties:
Shape the mixture into 6 equal patties. Press a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.Cook the Patties:
Grill or pan-sear the burgers over medium heat until they reach your preferred doneness:130–135°F for medium-rare
140–145°F for medium
160°F for well-done
Let the patties rest for a few minutes.
Assemble Burgers:
Toast buns if desired. Add patties and top with lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
Wet your hands before shaping patties to prevent sticking.
Don’t press down on the burgers while cooking—it releases juices.
Add extra toppings like avocado, pickles, or caramelized onions for more flavor.
