Delight in juicy burgers loaded with cheddar, bacon, ranch, and classic toppings, perfect for easy grilling.

# Ingredient List:

→ Burger Mixture

01 - 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
02 - 3 tablespoons sour cream
03 - 2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix
04 - 1/3 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
05 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

→ Assembly and Toppings

06 - 6 hamburger buns
07 - Lettuce leaves
08 - Sliced tomato
09 - Prepared mustard
10 - Mayonnaise

# 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.
