Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Working in batches if necessary, cook bacon in large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and brown. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Toast buns until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer buns, cut side up, to plates. Place lettuce on each bun bottom. Grill burgers 5 minutes, basting with glaze, and grill until cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes longer for medium. Press cheese on top of each burger and allow cheese to melt. Place some ranch sauce, then 1 burger on each bun bottom. Top each with 2 slices of bacon and desired toppings such as sliced tomato and grilled sliced onion. Cover with bun top. Serve with remaining ranch sauce. |
