Ingredients
  

Burger Components
  • 1.5 lbs 80/20 Ground Beef 680g total
  • 4 slices Sharp Orange Cheddar Cheese Thick cut
  • 8 strips Bacon Cooked until crispy and wavy
  • 4 tbsp Creamy Ranch Dressing 60ml, keto-friendly
  • 2 stalks Green Scallions Chopped
  • 1 tsp Cracked Black Pepper To taste

Equipment

  • 1 Cast-Iron Skillet Ensures the best sear and grill marks.
  • 1 Meat Thermometer To check for perfect internal temperature.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until reddish-brown and crispy. Set aside on paper towels.
  2. Divide beef into 4 patties. Season both sides with salt and cracked black pepper. Create a small thumbprint in the center of each.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear patties for 4-5 minutes per side until grill marks are visible.
  4. Add cheddar slices to patties during the last minute of cooking. Cover with a lid to drape the cheese.
  5. Plate the burger on a white ceramic plate. Top with two bacon strips, a dollop of ranch, and a sprinkle of green scallions.

Notes

Don't overmix the beef; handle it gently for the juiciest texture.
Ensure the skillet is piping hot before adding the meat to get those professional grill marks.
