Preheat your grill or large skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck with the ranch dressing mix and chopped bacon until well incorporated.

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties, approximately 1 inch thick. Indent the center of each patty with your thumb.

Carefully place the shaped patties onto the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for about 6 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 6 minutes.

In the final minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.

Remove the patties and allow them to rest. Toast your burger buns lightly, then assemble the burgers with your favorite toppings.
