Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ lb ground chuck: The star of the show ground chuck provides rich flavor and juiciness, making for a succulent burger.
  • 3 Tbsp sour cream: Sour cream adds a creamy texture and tang enhancing the burgers' overall flavor profile.
  • 2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix: This savory mix introduces a zesty kick infusing the meat with flavors reminiscent of traditional ranch.
  • ⅓ cup cooked & crumbled turkey bacon: For a healthier twist turkey bacon delivers just the right amount of crunch and smoky flavor without the heaviness of pork alternatives.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese: The melty goodness of cheddar cheese adds richness that perfectly complements the other ingredients.

Method
 

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add 1½ lb ground chuck, 3 Tbsp sour cream, 2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix, ⅓ cup cooked and crumbled turkey bacon, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Use your hands or a spatula to mix gently until everything is well incorporated.
  2. Shape Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Ensure they’re uniform for even cooking.
  3. Rest the Patties: Let the patties rest for 10-15 minutes. This step allows the flavors to meld and helps maintain the burgers' shape during cooking.
  4. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium. A good grilling surface ensures the burgers cook perfectly without sticking.
  5. Grill the Burgers: Place the patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip once and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until they reach the desired doneness (145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for well-done).
  6. Serve: Once cooked, remove the burgers from the grill. Place them on brioche buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, or an extra drizzle of ranch dressing for added flavor. Enjoy!
