Ingredients
For the Burgers

- 8 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 6 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions
Burger Preparation
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Blend the ingredients until evenly combined using your hands or a sturdy spoon.
- Shape the mixture into six hamburger patties. Create a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during grilling.
- Preheat your grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the patties to your preferred level of doneness, flipping gently to prevent breaking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: for medium-rare, aim for 130–135°F; for medium, target 140–145°F; for well-done, cook to 160°F.
- Let the burgers rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Place the burgers on brioche hamburger buns and top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, and mayonnaise.
Notes
Use 80/20 or 85/15 ground beef for the juiciest burgers. Mix the beef just until the ingredients are combined. Wet your hands with cold water before shaping the patties. Preheat your grill or skillet before adding the patties.
