Ingredients

• 1½ lbs ground chuck

• 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 (optional toppings)

Directions

1. Prepare the Burger Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender patty.

2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into a patty. Press a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

3. Cook the Patties: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

4. Assemble the Burgers: Place each cooked patty on a hamburger bun and top with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo, or your preferred toppings.

5. Serve: Serve the Crack Burgers immediately with your favorite side dishes.
