How to Make Bacon Cheddar Ranch Burgers

1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 4 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled.
2. Gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
3. Form the meat mixture into 4 equal-sized balls. Gently flatten each ball into a patty about ¾ inch thick.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties to the skillet.
5. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
6. Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
7. Add 8 oz sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
8. Toast the hamburger buns to your liking. You can use a toaster oven, grill, or skillet.
9. Spread a generous amount of ranch dressing on the bottom half of each bun.
10. Place the drained patties on the bottom buns.
11. Top each burger with 2 slices of cooked bacon and the sautéed mushrooms.
12. Add extra shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
