Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crack Burgers
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck with the ranch dressing mix, using your hands to blend until fully integrated. Divide into equal portions and form each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
  2. Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add the burger patties and cook for 5-6 minutes on one side until golden-brown before flipping.
  3. Cook the patties for another 5-6 minutes after flipping, then add a slice of cheddar cheese on top and cover with a lid for the last minute to melt the cheese.
  4. Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp.
  5. Assemble your burgers by placing each cheesy patty on a toasted bun, adding desired toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and condiments.
