Bacon Cheddar Ranch Burgers (Print)

Juicy beef patties mixed with bacon, cheddar and ranch seasoning, grilled to perfection and served with classic toppings.

# Ingredients:

→ Burger Patty

01 - 680g ground chuck
02 - 3 tablespoons sour cream
03 - 2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix
04 - 80g cooked and crumbled bacon
05 - 100g shredded cheddar cheese

→ Assembly

06 - 6 hamburger buns
07 - Fresh lettuce leaves
08 - Sliced tomato
09 - Mustard
10 - Mayonnaise

# Directions:

01 - In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently until the ingredients are evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork the meat.
02 - Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into patties of uniform thickness. Create a slight depression in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent bulging during cooking. Wet hands with cold water beforehand to prevent sticking.
03 - Heat grill or skillet to medium heat. Cook patties to desired doneness, typically 4-5 minutes per side. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 55°C; medium to 63°C; well-done to 71°C. Avoid pressing down on patties while cooking to retain juices.
04 - Toast the hamburger buns if desired. Place cooked patties on bottom buns, then add lettuce, tomato slices, mustard, and mayonnaise according to preference. Serve immediately while hot.

# Notes:

01 - These burgers are particularly moist due to the addition of sour cream and cheese, making them extra juicy when cooked properly.
02 - Allow patties to rest for 3-5 minutes after cooking to redistribute juices before serving.
