Bacon Cheddar Burgers (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Burger Patties

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
02 -
1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
03 -
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix

→ Assembly

Additional toppings you like (think crispy onions, spicy mayo, avocado, or pickles)
06 -
Sliced tomato
07 -
Lettuce leaves
08 -
Burger buns
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Put those grilled patties right onto your buns. Pile on the lettuce, tomato, and any extra goodies you love. Enjoy while they’re hot.
02 -
Set patties on your hot grill. Flip them once while cooking, about 5 minutes on each side, and make sure they reach 160°F (71°C) in the middle before pulling them off.
03 -
Break up the mixture into even amounts. Shape each one into a patty so they all cook evenly.
04 -
Toss ground beef, ranch mix, bacon crumbles, and shredded cheese together in a big bowl. Mix gently without mashing the meat down.
05 -
Get your gas or charcoal grill going to medium-high. Clean and oil the grates so nothing sticks.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Try ground chicken or turkey if you want a lighter option instead of beef.
02 -
Pepper jack or smoked gouda cheese work great for switching up the cheesy flavor.
03 -
No grill? Just use a skillet over medium until both sides are cooked through in about 5 minutes a side.
04 -
You can shape the patties and stash them in the fridge to make dinnertime way faster.
05 -
Load on extra goodness like avocado, crispy onions, spicy mayo, or pickles for a fun twist.
