1️⃣ Prepare the burger mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Gently mix until just combined to avoid overworking the meat, which keeps the patties juicy and tender.

2️⃣ Form patties: Divide the mixture and shape it into four evenly sized hamburger patties, each about ¾ inch thick.

3️⃣ Rest the patties: Allow the patties to rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. This helps meld the flavors and ensures the patties hold their shape on the grill.

4️⃣ Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the patties, flipping only once, until they reach your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 145°F; for well-done, cook to 160°F.
