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

Instructions
- Mix the Burger Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Blend until evenly combined.
- Shape Patties: Form the mixture into six patties, making a small dimple in the center of each. This helps prevent the burgers from puffing up.
- Cook the Patties: Grill or cook the patties to your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
- Rest and Serve: Let the burgers rest before assembling on brioche buns with toppings.
Notes
- Use 80/20 or 85/15 ground beef for juicier burgers
- Avoid overmixing the beef to prevent a dense texture
- Preheat grill or skillet before cooking for a better sear
- Do not press down on patties while cooking to retain juices
- Let burgers rest after cooking to redistribute juices
- Patties can be shaped in advance and stored refrigerated
