Ingredients
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.
