# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a sturdy spoon, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed without overmixing.
02 -
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into hamburger patties of uniform size and thickness. Press a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
03 -
Cook the patties on a preheated grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium heat to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure safe internal temperatures: 130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium, and 160°F for well-done. Avoid pressing down on the patties and let them rest for a few minutes after cooking.
04 -
Assemble the burgers on toasted hamburger buns with lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayo, or other desired toppings such as pickles or onions. Serve immediately for the best experience.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
To prevent sticking, wet your hands with cold water before forming the patties.
02 -
Use a grill or skillet preheated to medium heat for even cooking.
