Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Combine ground chuck with ranch dressing mix in a mixing bowl, folding gently for 2-3 minutes until blended.

Divide the meat into ⅓ pound portions and shape them into ¾ inch thick patties with a slight indentation in the center.

Cook the patties on the grill for 4-6 minutes on each side until browned and reaching 160°F internal temperature.

Add a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Transfer patties to burger buns and customize with additional toppings as desired. Serve immediately.
