Description
A mouthwatering burger with a delightful twist featuring ground beef, ranch seasoning, cheddar cheese, and crispy bacon.
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
- Sliced pickles
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Onions
- More cheese
- Crack sauce (a mix of mayo, mustard, and ranch)
Instructions
- Combine in a large bowl the 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.
- Toast the buns with butter in a separate skillet or on the grill while the burgers cook.
- Assemble with your favorite toppings and serve hot.
Notes
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Let patties rest after cooking to lock in juices.
