Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds ground chuck (80/20 recommended)
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 strips cooked bacon, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
Burger buns (brioche or sesame work well)
Butter for toasting buns

Optional toppings:
Sliced pickles
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Onions
More cheese
Crack sauce (a mix of mayo, mustard, and ranch)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine ground chuck, ranch seasoning, shredded cheddar, and chopped cooked bacon. Mix gently by hand until just combined.

Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into patties about ¾-inch thick. Press a small indentation in the center of each to help them cook evenly.

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If grilling, oil the grates lightly. If pan-searing, add a small amount of oil to the pan.

Cook the burgers for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Add extra cheese on top during the last minute if desired.

While the burgers cook, toast the buns with butter in a separate skillet or on the grill.

Assemble with your favorite toppings and serve hot.
