Cooking

  2. Whisk together mayo, sour cream, garlic, and ranch seasoning to make the sauce.
  3. Lightly toast the hamburger buns on a grill or in a toaster.

  2. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.

Notes

Use 80/20 ground beef for juicy patties. Don’t overmix the meat, and toast the buns for best texture.
