In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck with ranch dressing mix and crumbled bacon. Use your hands to mix gently for a uniform blend.

Divide the mixture into equal portions (about 1/3 pound each) and shape into patties, creating a slight indentation in the center.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook patties for 6 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes.

Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty about a minute before they finish cooking. Cover to melt.

Transfer the patties to burger buns and add your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, or pickles.
