Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crack Burgers
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine one pound of ground chuck, half a cup of sour cream, a packet of ranch dressing mix, six strips of crumbled bacon, and one cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently until evenly distributed.
  2. Divide the mixture into six equal portions and shape them into patties, slightly thicker in the center.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 350°F to 375°F. Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
  5. One minute before they are done, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and close the lid to melt.
  6. Remove from grill, let rest for a few minutes, then assemble with buns and toppings.
