Ingredients

Scale

Patty 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

For Serving

  • Hamburger buns
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato slices
  • Mustard
  • Mayo

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently using your hands or a sturdy spoon until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender and juicy.
  2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture evenly and shape into 6 uniform hamburger patties. To help them cook evenly, press a slight dimple in the center of each patty. Wet your hands with cold water before shaping to prevent sticking, and keep patties moderately thick to ensure proper cooking.
  3. Grill Patties: Preheat your grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium heat. Place the patties on the hot surface and cook to your preferred doneness — medium-rare at 130-135°F, medium at 140-145°F, or well-done at 160°F. Flip carefully without pressing down, and let the burgers rest a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Toast hamburger buns if desired for extra texture. Place the cooked patties on the buns and top with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo or your favorite condiments. Enjoy your moist, flavorful Crack Burgers fresh off the grill!
