In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chuck with ranch dressing mix, chopped cooked bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently until combined.

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties with a slight indentation in the center.

Preheat a skillet or grill over medium heat and cook patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.

Toast burger buns on the skillet or grill for 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.

Assemble the Crack Burgers with the bottom bun, add the patty, and desired toppings, then finish with the top bun.
