In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck with the ranch dressing mix. Mix until just combined, then let rest for about 5 minutes.

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into patties, about 3/4 inch thick with a slight indentation in the center.

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes per side, until an internal temperature of 160°F is reached.

Top each patty with bacon and cheese in the last minute of cooking, covering to allow the cheese to melt.

Toast your burger buns on the grill or in a skillet for about 2 minutes until golden brown.

Assemble the burgers with a cheesy patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun and add your favorite toppings.
