Juicy ranch seasoned burgers grilled and topped with pepper jack cheese. Served on a toasted bun with bacon and a creamy chipotle ranch sauce. This burger is packed with flavor and is a BBQ menu staple!

Holy man everyone this is a treat for you. This is my favorite burger.

Yep.

Legit favorite burger. If is even sans pickles which is even more shocking because I love pickles on my burger.

This burger is so simple too- no gimmicks or long ingredient preps. Simple seasoned ground beef, cheese, crispy bacon, and a finger-licking sauce.

I use a simple ranch seasoning packet in this burger and it gives it so much flavor! I have a love for ranch seasoning packets as I use them in my Taco Ranch Chicken, Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole, and Dilly Ranch Oyster Crackers. However, this burger is the winner for me.

I love the herby ranch flavors mixed with the heat from the chipotle salsa. The pepper jack cheese adds and additional spice, but can easily be subbed for a different cheese. The smokey crispy bacon on top is the perfect crunch, and is is all sandwiched between two toasted burger buns. So delicious!

My husband calls these the "Wow burgers", because after one bite all you say is "wow!"- I can't argue with that logic!

This is also a great recipe because it is completely weeknight friendly, and very simple to put together for a quick meal.
