⏱️ Time Breakdown:

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 22 minutes
Servings: 6 burgers

📝 Ingredients:

1 ½ lb ground chuck (or lean ground beef)
3 Tbsp sour cream
2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix
⅓ cup cooked and crumbled turkey bacon
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 hamburger buns
Lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayo (optional toppings)

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

Mix the Patty Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine ground chuck, sour cream, ranch mix, crumbled turkey bacon, and cheddar. Gently mix until evenly combined.
Shape the Patties
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form into patties. Press a small indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing.
Cook the Burgers
Grill or pan-fry over medium heat for 4–5 minutes per side, or until your desired doneness. Do not press down — keep those juices in! 🌟
Assemble & Serve
Add patties to buns and layer with lettuce, tomato, and your favorite condiments. Toast the buns for extra flavor and crunch.

💡 Pro Tips:

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or low oven.
Substitutions: Replace sour cream with Greek yogurt for extra protein. Use dairy-free cheese for lactose intolerance.
Meal Prep: Mix and shape patties ahead of time. Store in the fridge and cook fresh.
Serving Ideas: Great with sweet potato fries, roasted veggies, or a crunchy side salad.
