# Preparation Steps:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently using your hands or a sturdy spoon until ingredients are evenly distributed.
02 -
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Form each portion into a hamburger patty of uniform thickness, pressing a slight dimple in the center to promote even cooking.
03 -
Preheat grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium heat. Place patties onto the hot surface and cook, flipping once, until internal temperature reaches desired doneness: 130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium, or 160°F for well-done. Avoid pressing down on patties to preserve juiciness.
04 -
Place grilled patties on hamburger buns. Top with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayonnaise as desired. Serve immediately with additional toppings if preferred.
# Supplementary Details:
01 -
Mix patties lightly to avoid a dense texture, and let burgers rest for a few minutes after cooking so juices redistribute.
02 -
Wet hands with cold water before shaping patties to prevent sticking.
03 -
Toast buns before assembly for an enhanced texture and flavor.
