Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for cooking the bacon to crispy perfection.
Place bacon on a wire rack over a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
Whisk together ranch dressing, dried dill, and black pepper in a medium bowl and set aside.
Divide ground beef into four 6-ounce portions, shape into patties with a slight indentation.
Heat oil in a skillet, sear patties for 3-4 minutes per side, adding cheddar during the last minute.
Butter the bun insides and toast them in a skillet until golden brown.
