Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crack Burgers
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chuck, ranch dressing mix, and crumbled cooked bacon. Mix gently until combined to keep burgers tender.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4-6 portions and shape into patties about ¾ inch thick; make indentations to prevent puffing.
  3. Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4-6 minutes on first side until golden brown before flipping.
  4. After flipping, cook an additional 4-6 minutes. In the last minute, add cheddar cheese to melt.
  5. Remove patties from heat and let rest. Assemble on toasted buns with your favorite toppings.
