Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crack Burgers
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crispy bacon, and cheddar cheese. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into six equal portions, shaping each one into patties approximately 1-inch thick and pressing a dimple into the center.
  3. Heat your grill or skillet over medium heat (about 375°F) for about 5 minutes and lightly grease the surface.
  4. Carefully place the shaped patties on the preheated surface and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
  5. Once cooked, let them rest on a plate for about 5 minutes to redistribute juices.
  6. Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill, place a patty on each bun, and add your favorite toppings.
