1 ½ lb ground chuck (or quality ground beef)
3 Tbsp sour cream
2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix
⅓ cup cooked and crumbled bacon
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Hamburger buns
Lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayo (for topping)
Optional:
Drizzle of olive oil for cooking or finishing
Small spread of sunflower seed butter for a nutty depth
Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, bacon, and cheddar cheese. Mix gently until just combined (do not overwork the meat).
Form mixture into 4–6 equal patties, depending on desired size.
Lightly oil the grill or skillet. Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your preferred doneness.
Toast hamburger buns, if desired.
Assemble burgers with lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayo, and your favorite toppings.
Serve hot and enjoy!
Don’t press down on patties while cooking; this keeps the burgers juicy.
For extra richness, add a small spread of sunflower seed butter before cooking.
Pairs perfectly with fries, onion rings, or a crisp salad.
