# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ranch seasoning, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly blended, handling gently to retain juiciness.
02 -
Divide mixture evenly and form into 6 uniform patties, pressing gently to maintain thickness for even cooking.
03 -
Preheat grill or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches desired doneness. Add additional cheddar slices, if desired, during the last minute of cooking.
04 -
Toast brioche buns until golden. Spread ranch dressing or mayonnaise evenly on the cut sides of each bun.
05 -
Layer lettuce, tomato, and pickles on the bottom half of each bun. Place cooked patty on top, adding extra crumbled bacon if desired. Cap with the top bun and serve immediately.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For enhanced flavor complexity, substitute half of the ground beef with ground pork. Pretzel buns offer a distinctive presentation and texture.
