Preparation & Cooking Details:

• Total Time: 22 minutes

• Prep Time: 10 minutes

• Cook Time: 12 minutes

• Servings: 6 servings

• Calories per Serving: Approximately 350-400 calories

Ingredients:

For the Burgers:

• 1 ½ lbs ground beef (80/20 mix for juicier burgers)

• 3 Tbsp sour cream (can substitute with plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise)

• 2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix (or homemade ranch seasoning)

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese of your choice)

For the Toppings:

• Hamburger buns

• Lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayo (or your favorite toppings)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Burger Mixture:

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently until everything is evenly distributed. Tip: Avoid overmixing the meat to keep the burgers tender. Mix just enough to combine the ingredients.

2. Form the Patties:

Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make the patties about the same size and thickness for even cooking. Create a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during grilling. Tip: Wet your hands with cold water before forming the patties to make the process easier.

3. Cook the Patties:

Grill or pan-fry the patties on medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, flipping carefully. Ensure the burgers are cooked through to an internal temperature of 160-165°F (71-75°C) for safety. Tip: Preheat your grill or skillet before adding the patties, and avoid pressing down on them while cooking to keep the juices inside.

4. Serve:

Once cooked, place the patties on toasted hamburger buns. Top with lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayo, or any of your favorite burger toppings. Tip: Toast the buns for a crispier, more satisfying texture.

Notes & Substitutions:

• Meat Options: You can use lean ground beef (90/10) for a lighter burger or stick with the classic 80/20 blend for juicier patties.

• Cheese: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses such as Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a sharp cheddar for extra flavor.

• Toppings: Customize with your favorite condiments, such as pickles, onions, avocado, or even a spicy sauce.

These Cheesy Ranch Beef Burgers are juicy, flavorful, and easy to make – perfect for a quick dinner or a BBQ with friends and family. Enjoy these mouthwatering burgers with your favorite sides and toppings!
