Ingredients
-
1 ½ lb (680 g) halal ground chuck (80/20)
-
3 Tbsp halal sour cream
-
2 Tbsp ranch dressing mix (halal-certified)
-
1 cup shredded halal cheddar cheese
-
6 hamburger buns

-
Tomato slices (optional, for topping)
-
Onion slices (optional, for topping)
-

Instructions
-
Mix the patties
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, and shredded cheddar cheese.
-
Mix gently with your hands or a sturdy spoon until just combined. Don’t overmix, or the burgers will become tough.
-
-
Shape the patties
-
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions.
-
Form into patties, pressing a small dimple into the center of each one to prevent puffing during cooking.
-
-
Preheat the grill or skillet
-
Heat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
-
-
Cook the burgers
-
Place the patties on the hot surface and cook to desired doneness:
-
130–135°F for medium-rare
-
140–145°F for medium
-
160°F for well-done
-
-
Avoid pressing down on the patties, as this releases juices.
-
-
Rest and assemble
-
Let the patties rest for 3–5 minutes after cooking.
-
Serve on hamburger buns with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and your favorite sauces.
-
Notes
-
Keep ingredients cold before mixing to prevent greasy patties.
-
Toast the buns lightly for extra flavor and texture.
-
Use a meat thermometer for perfect results every time.
-
For a lighter version, use lean ground beef or turkey.
