# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Toss beef, sour cream, ranch powder, bacon, cheese, salt, and pepper into a roomy bowl. Gently stir it all together with your hands—don’t squash it too much or your burgers can get tough.
02 -
Get your cast iron or griddle nice and hot over medium-high. Add a little oil. Mold the meat into three patties. Sear each until they’re cooked just how you like, flipping them gently since they’re a bit soft.
03 -
Grab a small bowl. Stir together chili sauce, mustard, and mayo until smooth. Leave it nearby—you’ll need it in a bit.
04 -
Throw the buns cut-side down onto your hot pan till they’re toasty and a little crunchy.
05 -
Slather some sauce on the buns. Toss on lettuce and tomato. Pop your hot patties on next, then cap with the remaining buns and dig in.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Gently mix your burger base so your patty stays juicy.
02 -
Cook burgers all the way since the mix is pretty soft and has dairy in it.
