  • 1/2 cup cooked crispy bacon chopped
  • 3 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Burger buns brioche preferred
  • Optional: lettuce tomato, burger sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, gently mix beef, cheddar, bacon, ranch seasoning, sour cream, salt, and pepper.

  • Heat skillet with a little oil, cook patties over medium-high until browned on both sides.
  • Toast buns in the skillet.
  • Assemble burgers with desired toppings and sauces.

Notes

  • Use cheddar shreds, not slices, for gooey texture.
  • Chill patties before cooking—they’re soft!
  • Add a slice of cheese during final 30 seconds for extra melt.
  • Patties can be frozen raw for up to 3 months.
