As a low carber, I nixed the roll and served this on a bed of salad greens with the cheese, bacon and dressing intact. Instead of salsa, I substituted some chopped, homegrown tomato! It was wonderful. Husband loved it, and it was so easy and quick to put together using frozen Angus burger patties. Took a total of about 10 minutes!

A tasty way to "dress up" a boring cheeseburger. I will definitely remember this when making burgers in the future!

The ranch dressing made this recipe great. I didn't have salsa but I don't think it would have made a difference. I'll definitely make it again!

There was nothing special about these burgers. My husband told me just to stick with regular burgers over these.

I made this with ground sirloin and added mashed avacado to the bottom bun. It was very good.

This recipe is one of the best burgers I have had in years! I love ranch and it really tops these burgers in excellence!!! You'll never want to make any other recipe again!

I didn't think that ranch dressing and salsa would go together. This recipe isn't that different from how I normally make bacon cheeseburgers.

This was one of the most excellent cheeseburger recipes I've ever made!!! Since I had VERY lean ground beef, I made 5 sandwiches, using 5 smaller French buns for the Kaiser rolls. Even though my sandwiches were smaller, for each one I did use 1 slice of Kraft American Cheese Singles, a scant 1 Tbs. Kraft Ranch dressing, a scant I Tbs. of a generic salsa, and subbed 2 slices of Louis Rich 65 per cent less fat bacon for the fattier kind. Spread the bottom bun halves with a bit of mayo before assembling. TRULY YUMMY!!!
