  6. Flip and cook for 3 minutes.
  7. Move to indirect heat (charcoal) or turn down heat to medium heat (gas grill) and continue to cook for 1 minute.
  8. Place 2 slices of cheese on each patty, cover until cheese melts, about 1 minute.
  9. Toast buns on grill, about 1 minute.
  10. Remove patties and buns from the grill.
  11. Spread ranch salad dressing (or mayo mixture) on the bottom bun.
  12. Stack lettuce, onion, tomato, and patty on bun.
  13. Top patty with bacon strips.
