# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, blend ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain tenderness.
02 -
Divide the mixture evenly and form into 6 burger patties of uniform size and thickness. Press a slight dimple in the center of each to prevent doming during cooking. Wet hands with cold water if needed to reduce sticking.
03 -
Preheat grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium heat. Cook patties, flipping once, until internal temperature reaches desired level: 54-57°C for medium-rare, 60-63°C for medium, or 71°C for well-done. Do not press down on patties while cooking. Allow burgers to rest for a few minutes before assembling.
04 -
Toast hamburger buns if desired. Place cooked patties on buns and top with lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayonnaise, or other preferred condiments. Serve immediately.
# Additional Information:
01 -
Use a burger press or container lid to help shape even patties and ensure uniform cooking.
02 -
Employ a meat thermometer for precision and optimal results—avoid guessing doneness.
03 -
Experiment with toppings such as pickles or grilled onions for personalization.
