1-Start by grabbing your 1 pound of ground beef, ½ cup BBQ sauce, ¼ cup ranch dressing, and ½ cup crushed tortilla chips. Mix them in a bowl, seasoning lightly with salt and black pepper. Shape into 8 small patties for doubles or 4 larger ones for singles it’s that flexible!

2-Heat your grill or skillet to medium-high. Once hot, smash the patties flat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until they’re nicely crisped. For an extra cheesy layer, melt 4 to 8 slices of cheddar cheese on the patties or pour over 1½ cups of melted cheddar cheese sauce in the last minute.

3-While the patties cook, toast your 4 hamburger buns for added crunch. Then, assemble by layering the patty with cheese on the bottom bun, sprinkling extra crushed tortilla chips on top, and capping with the top bun. Serve it hot for the best flavor pop. Tips like firmly smashing the patties help create that crispy crust, and keeping the cheese sauce warm prevents clumping.
