Method
 

Burger Preparation Steps
  1. In a large bowl, gently combine ground chuck, ranch dressing mix, cooked and chopped bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese until just combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into evenly sized patties, approximately ½ inch thick, and place them on a tray.
  3. Refrigerate the patties for about 30 minutes to hold their shape during cooking.
  4. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat, aiming for a temperature around 375°F.
  5. Carefully place the patties on the hot grill or skillet, cooking for about 5-6 minutes on each side.
  6. In the last minute of cooking, place an additional slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to help it melt.
  7. Remove the patties from the grill or skillet and assemble on toasted buns with your favorite toppings.
  8. Serve immediately to enjoy their juicy goodness.
