Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crack Burgers
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients for the Crack Burgers. Ensure your ground chuck is thawed and preheat your grill or skillet to medium heat, around 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck with the ranch dressing mix. Mix gently, then divide into equal portions and form patties about ¾ inch thick.
  3. Place the formed patties onto the preheated grill or skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden-brown and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
  4. In the last minute of cooking, add bacon slices on top of patties and sprinkle cheddar cheese over bacon. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
  5. Remove patties from heat, place each on a bun, and add desired toppings. Serve immediately while hot and juicy.
