In a large mixing bowl, gently combine ground chuck, ranch seasoning, shredded cheddar, and chopped bacon. Season with salt and pepper. Form patties, making a slight indentation in the center.

Preheat your grill to medium-high or heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until browned and cheese melts.

While the burgers cook, butter the insides of the buns and toast them until golden-brown.

Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked patty on a toasted bun and adding your choice of toppings.

Serve the Crack Burgers immediately while warm and juicy, perfect with fries or coleslaw.
