1
Prepare the Patties
In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt and pepper to taste. Form the mixture into two equal patties, pressing a slight indentation in the center of each to help them cook evenly.
2
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood smoked bacon until crispy, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.
3
Grill the Burgers
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip. Place a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
4
Toast the Buns
While the burgers are cooking, split the brioche buns and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
5
Assemble the Burger
Spread ranch dressing on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun. Layer with lettuce leaves, a cooked burger patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
6
Serve
Serve the Rancho Deluxe Burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
