Method
 

Basic Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, bacon, and cheddar cheese. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into patties, about 1 inch thick. Create a small dimple in each patty's center.
  3. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat (about 350°F). Lightly oil the grates if using a grill.
  4. Place the patties on the grill/skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on one side without pressing down.
  5. Flip the patties and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check for desired doneness.
  6. Slice hamburger buns and toast them on the grill/skillet for about 1 minute until lightly toasted.
  7. Serve the cooked patties on the toasted buns topped with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayonnaise.
