Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
  • 6 bacon strips
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 burger buns, soft and toasted
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 4 lettuce leaves
  • 4 tomato slices
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bacon: Cook the bacon strips over medium heat until they reach your preferred level of crispiness, then transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  2. Form and season the patties: Divide the ground beef into equal portions and gently form into patties about ¾ inch thick. Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper for optimal flavor.
  3. Cook the burger patties: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4 minutes per side or until they reach your desired doneness.
  4. Add cheese: Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover with a lid to help it melt nicely.
  5. Toast the buns: While the patties cook, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster oven to give them a crisp, golden surface.
  6. Assemble the burgers: Spread ranch dressing generously on the bottom half of each bun, layer with lettuce and tomato slices, add the cheeseburger patty topped with crispy bacon, and finish with the top bun.

Notes

  • Don’t overwork the meat to keep burgers tender and juicy.
  • Use thick-cut bacon for better texture and richer flavor.
  • Let patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain juices.
  • Customize your ranch dressing by mixing in fresh herbs or spices.
  • Toast buns well to hold up against the juicy burger and creamy ranch.
