Description

Juicy and flavorful burgers made with ground chuck, bacon, cheddar cheese, and tangy ranch dressing – perfect for BBQs or weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lb ground chuck
  • 3 Tbsp sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix
  • ⅓ cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Hamburger buns
  • Lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayo (for topping)


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well blended, being careful not to overmix.
  2. Form the mixture into 6 hamburger patties, keeping them the same size and thickness. Press a small dimple in the center of each patty.
  3. Grill the patties to your desired doneness over medium heat, using a meat thermometer for accurate cooking:
  4. For medium-rare, aim for 130-135°F
  5. For medium, cook to 140-145°F
  6. For well-done, cook to 160°F
  7. Serve on hamburger buns with toppings like lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo. Enjoy!

Notes

For juicy burgers, ensure your ground chuck has a fat content of 80/20. Consider adding spices for extra flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3 days or frozen for 3 months.
