Ingredients

Burgers

1 ½ pounds ground beef 80/20 recommended
½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon about 6 slices
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
3 Tablespoons sour cream full fat
2 Tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

To Finish

6 brioche buns plus softened butter
6 slices leaf lettuce
6 slices tomato
dill pickle chips optional for topping

Instructions

Preheat the grill to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning, salt and pepper. Gently knead with your hands until just combined; don’t overwork the meat. Divide into 6 equal sized balls. Form the balls into patties about ½ inch thick using your hands or a burger press.
Add the patties to the preheated grill and cook for 5 minutes then flip and cook for another 5 minutes or until the internal temperature is 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the patties cook, butter the inside of the buns and toast inside down on the cooler side of the grill until golden.
Take a bun and layer with lettuce, tomato, a single patty, and pickles if using. Rest 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Fridge: Store burgers and toppings separately in airtight containers. Leftover burgers can be store for up to 4 days.

Freezer: Wrap individual burgers in plastic wrap then store in a freezer bag or airtight container. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

Reheat covered on the stovetop or in the oven until the burgers reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
