Crack Burgers: Loaded with Cheddar, Bacon & Ranch!

Crack Burgers

Burgers don’t get better than this! Juicy, cheesy, smoky, and loaded with ranch flavor — these Crack Burgers are totally irresistible

Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 7 min | Total Time: 12 min

Ingredients:

• 1½ lb ground chuck (80/20 recommended)
• 3 Tbsp sour cream
• 2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix
• ⅓ cup cooked and crumbled bacon
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions (Step-by-Step):

1. Mix It Up:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch mix, crumbled bacon, and cheddar cheese. Mix gently until well combined — don’t overwork the meat!
2. Shape Patties:
   Form the mixture into 4 equal burger patties. A burger press helps keep them uniform and easy to cook evenly.
3. Grill to Perfection:
   Preheat your grill (or cast iron grill pan) to medium-high. Place patties on the grill and cook for about 4 minutes per side for medium, or 5 minutes per side for medium-well. Flip only once for the juiciest results
4. Serve It Up:
   Enjoy on a toasted hamburger bun with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo — or go bun-free for a keto-friendly version!

Pro Tips:

• Make-Ahead Magic:
  Freeze extra patties raw between parchment paper for quick dinners.
• Don’t Skip the Fat:
  Use ground chuck — lean beef will fall apart and dry out.
• Indoor Option:
  Cook in a grill pan on the stovetop if grilling isn’t an option.
