Step-by-Step Instructions for Crack Burgers
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into burger patties, about ¾ inch thick. Create a slight indentation in the center.
  3. Preheat a skillet or grill to medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side until a crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  4. Remove the patties and let them rest. Toast the burger buns lightly and assemble the burgers with patties and toppings.
