In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Gently mix until everything is just combined to avoid overworking the meat.

Lightly oil your hands and shape the mixture into patties that are about ¾ inch thick, slightly wider than your burger buns.

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Carefully place the patties on the cooking surface and cook for approximately 4-6 minutes on one side until browned.

Flip the patties and continue cooking for another 4-6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Remove burgers from heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve on toasted buns with toppings.
