Crack Burgers with Bacon (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1½ lb ground chuck
02 -
3 Tbsp sour cream
03 -
2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix
04 -
⅓ cup cooked and crumbled bacon
05 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
02 -
Form the mixture into four evenly sized hamburger patties, each about ¾ inch thick.
03 -
Let the patties rest at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before cooking. This helps the flavors meld together and ensures the patties hold their shape when cooked.
04 -
Grill the patties over medium heat on a preheated grill, flipping only once, until they reach your desired doneness. For a medium-rare burger, cook to an internal temperature of 145°F, and for well-done, cook to 160°F.
