Crack Burgers


  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x
  • Diet: Carnivore

Description

Juicy and flavorful burgers made with ground chuck, crumbled bacon, and cheddar cheese, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lb 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 and mayo (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  2. Mix gently with your hands or a sturdy spoon until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep your burgers tender.
  3. Form the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties.
  4. Make a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent puffing.
  5. Heat your grill or skillet to medium and cook the patties, flipping carefully when they’re ready.
  6. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer: 130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium, and 160°F for well-done.
  7. Allow the burgers to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Don’t press down on the patties while grilling to retain the juices. Allow cooked burgers to rest before serving.
