Cook six strips of bacon until crispy. Remove and cut into small pieces or break into crumbles. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, add ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning, and bacon bits. Mix altogether.

Form six 1/4 pound patties.

On a preheated griddle, cook patties for five minutes on one side. Flip and cook for four minutes. Add cheese slices, cover, and cook for one more minute or until cheese is melted on top. Remove.

Place on a brioche bun and serve with your favorite toppings.
