# Needed Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 680 g ground chuck
02 - 45 ml sour cream
03 - 30 ml ranch dressing mix
04 - 55 g cooked and crumbled bacon
05 - 115 g shredded cheddar cheese

→ Assembly and Toppings

06 - Hamburger buns
07 - Lettuce
08 - Tomato
09 - Mustard
10 - Mayonnaise

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, combine ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently with your hands or a sturdy spoon just until ingredients are evenly distributed for maximum tenderness.
02 - Shape the mixture into 6 even hamburger patties. Use a burger press or a container lid for consistent size. Gently press a small dimple into the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
03 - Preheat grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium heat. Place patties onto the heated surface and cook to preferred doneness: 54–57°C for medium-rare, 60–63°C for medium, or 71°C for well-done. Flip gently and avoid pressing patties to retain juiciness. Rest burgers for several minutes before serving.
04 - Arrange burgers on hamburger buns. Top with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayonnaise. Add additional toppings such as pickles, onions, or avocado as desired. Toast buns before assembling for enhanced texture.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - Wet hands with cold water before forming patties to prevent sticking.
02 - Do not overmix ground meat; incorporate ingredients just until combined.
03 - Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness and food safety.
04 - Rest burgers after grilling to promote even distribution of juices.
