Cut uncooked bacon into matchsticks, and place into a cold pan. Turn heat to medium high and cook until crispy, stirring periodically.
Remove from heat and drain bacon.
Shred cheddar and set aside.
Mix buttermilk dressing mix into the meat, then make eight thin patties, with four slightly larger in diameter than the others.
1 pound ground beef, 1-2 tablespoons buttermilk dressing mix
Place a 1/4 of bacon and cheddar in the middle of the four smaller patties.
4 slices bacon, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
Place larger patty atop each smaller patty. Crimp around edges to get them to seal, then gently shape again.
Heat grill to medium heat. Grill six minutes on the first sidde, then flip and cook four minutes on the second side for a medium burger. Adjust times for more or less rare burgers.

While this tastes amazing with bacon and cheddar, use the same strategy to make all manner of stuffed burgers from jalapeno and pepperjack to sauteed onion and mushroom with Swiss. The sky is the limit here.
