Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep the Beef Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground chuck with 1 packet of ranch dressing mix. Gently mix the ingredients until just combined and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties, making a slight indentation in the center. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  3. Cook the Burgers: Preheat grill or skillet to medium heat. Cook patties for about 6 minutes per side until desired doneness, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F.
  4. Add Bacon and Cheese: Top each patty with bacon and cheese during the last minute of cooking, covering to help melt the cheese.
  5. Assemble the Burgers: Remove patties and let rest. Toast buns and add patties with your favorite toppings before serving.
