# 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.
