Preheat the griddle to medium-high heat, about 350 to 375°F.

In a bowl, combine 1.5 pounds of ground beef, 2 tablespoons of ranch seasoning, 0.5 cup of diced pre-cooked bacon, 1 cup of freshly shredded cheddar cheese, and 4 cups of sour cream.

Mix the ingredients by hand or with a mixer until well combined, ensuring even distribution of the ranch seasoning and bacon.

Form the mixture into six burger patties, each about 2-3 inches in diameter, and create a divot in the center to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Place the patties on the preheated griddle and cook for about 5 minutes on one side until a crust forms.

Flip the patties and cook for an additional 4 minutes, checking for doneness.

In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Kraft Singles cheese on each patty to melt, optionally covering with a lid to speed up melting.

While the cheese melts, place burger buns face down on the griddle to toast for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Remove the burgers from the griddle and let them rest on a cutting board.

Prepare toppings: burger sauce, caramelized onions, and pickles.
