Crack Burgers

INGREDIENTS:

1.5 lbs Ground beef (80/20 chuck is best for flavor)

1 packet (approx. 1 oz) Dry Ranch dressing mix

1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

½ cup Bacon, cooked and crumbled

2-3 tbsp Sour cream (the secret to keeping them moist!)

6 Slices cheddar cheese (for topping)

6 Hamburger buns

Optional toppings: Lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo.

🥣 DIRECTIONS:

Prep the Bacon: Cook your bacon until crispy, let it cool, and crumble it into small pieces.

Mix the Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, dry Ranch mix, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sour cream. Use your hands to mix until just combined (don't overwork the meat or it will get tough!).

Form: Shape the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties. Press a small thumbprint indentation in the center of each patty to keep them flat while cooking.

Cook:

Grill/Skillet: Cook over medium-high heat for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Melt & Serve: During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and cover to melt.

Assemble: Serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings.
