Some burgers are all about the toppings. This one celebrates the inside: crisp bacon, melted cheese and mouthwatering juiciness, thanks to ranch dressing.

Since the size of the burger reduces after grilling, next time I will double the ingredients. Other than that, I think this is the best burger recipe yet. Juicy and very tasty!!

Ths burger had a good taste but was a little messy! Next time I will put the cheese on top and not in the middle b/c it ran out all over the grill!

I liked this recipe and I added one packet of dry Ranch mix instead of putting ranch dressing in the middle and they came out really good.

I substituted the beef and bacon for ground turkey and turkey bacon. For a spicy twist, I used pepper jack cheeese slices. I also added mushrooms in the center with bacon as well.

The recipe was good but it burnt very easy with the ranch dressing. The next time that I make them I will use less ranch because they seemed to be too sloppy. But they did have good taste. I actually used the real bacon cumbles instead of cooking bacon which was a lot easier.
