🥘Ingredients

For the Burgers

1 1/2 pounds ground beef 80/20
1 packet 1 oz hidden valley ranch seasoning mix
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For Serving

4 hamburger buns
Lettuce leaves
Sliced tomato
Sliced red onion
Pickles
Ketchup and mustard

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ranch seasoning mix, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a small indent in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
3Preheat your grill to medium high heat or heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet.
4Cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until an instant read thermometer inserted in the center reads 160 degrees F. Avoid pressing down on the patties while they cook.
5During the last minute of cooking, place the hamburger buns cut side down on the grill or in the skillet to toast lightly.
6Assemble the burgers on the toasted buns with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and your favorite condiments. Serve immediately.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Hidden Valley Ranch Burger

1. Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef?

Yes, you can substitute ground turkey or chicken. Just keep in mind the patties may be a bit drier so you might want to add a tablespoon of olive oil to the mixture.

2. Can I make these burgers ahead of time?

Absolutely. Form the patties and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Cook them straight from the fridge adding a minute or two to the cook time.

3. Can I freeze the uncooked patties?

Yes. Place the patties on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer bag. They will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.

4. What if I don’t have a grill?

No problem. You can cook these burgers in a cast iron skillet or a nonstick pan over medium high heat. They will still come out delicious with a nice crust.

5. Can I add cheese to these burgers?

Of course. Place a slice of cheddar, pepper jack, or provolone on the patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the pan or grill to melt the cheese.
