Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crack Burgers
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add your ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, crumbled crispy bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until just combined.
  2. Wet your hands slightly and divide the mixture into six equal portions. Shape each portion into a uniform patty.
  3. Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Ensure it's hot—about 375°F—before adding the patties.
  4. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then gently flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  5. Once cooked, transfer to a plate and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Toast your hamburger buns and assemble with toppings.
