Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Burger Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 2: Form the Patties
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties, about ¾-inch thick.
Step 3: Cook the Burgers
- Grill Method:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Stovetop Method:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through.
Step 4: Serve
- Place the burgers on toasted buns and garnish with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and additional ranch dressing, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For added flavor, sprinkle extra cheddar cheese on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking to melt.
- Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- These burgers pair perfectly with fries, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad.
