# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
02 -
Combine ground beef, ranch seasoning, shredded cheddar cheese, bacon bits, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Gently mix until ingredients are uniformly distributed, avoiding overmixing.
03 -
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Form each portion into a patty and create a shallow indent in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.
04 -
Grill or sear the patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 71°C (medium).
05 -
Place burger buns cut-side down on the grill or skillet and toast for 1–2 minutes until golden.
06 -
Arrange burger patties on toasted buns and add preferred toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, crispy fried onions, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce. Serve immediately.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
For juicier burgers, avoid pressing the patties with a spatula while cooking.
