Description
Juicy Cheddar Ranch Beef Burgers made with ground chuck, ranch seasoning, sour cream, and cheddar cheese, perfect for cookouts or easy weeknight dinners. These flavor-packed patties are savory, cheesy, and irresistibly delicious.
Ingredients
1½ lb ground chuck
3 Tbsp sour cream
2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix
⅓ cup finely chopped cooked ground beef (seasoned with salt & pepper)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Hamburger buns
Lettuce (for topping)
Tomato (for topping)
Mustard (for topping)
Mayonnaise (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, chopped cooked ground beef, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Form the mixture into 6 equal patties. Press a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
- Preheat grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached (140–145°F for medium, 160°F for well done).
- Remove patties from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes.
- Toast the hamburger buns if desired.
- Assemble the burgers with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayonnaise or toppings of your choice.
Notes
Do not overmix the meat to keep the burgers juicy.
Chilling patties for 15 minutes before cooking helps them hold together.
For extra flavor, add chopped jalapeños or crumbled cooked bacon to the mixture.
Ground turkey can be used as a leaner option.
These patties can be baked at 375°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
