Ranch Burgers Recipe

I absolutely adore delicious burgers! I recently made a batch and they were a hit with us! I made a few tweaks to the original recipe. Since it was just my partner and I, I used 1 pound of ground beef to create two generously sized burgers. I added a full packet of Ranch dressing mix and substituted raw onion with 1/2 packet of onion soup mix. Instead of cracker crumbs, I used Italian bread crumbs. The burgers turned out incredibly flavorful and juicy. I prepared them in the morning and grilled them for dinner, allowing the flavors to really seep in. I made another batch this morning and I'm eagerly anticipating dinner tonight! This recipe is definitely a keeper for us!

I would rate these burgers at around 4.5 stars. Initially, they had a flavor profile that was a cross between a hamburger and meatloaf. However, once placed on a hamburger bun with toppings, they tasted more like a traditional burger. The burgers were incredibly moist, which was actually a positive aspect. I halved the recipe and ended up with 6 burgers. Chopping the onion and saltines was a quick task, as I used my Vitamix blender for each. Since my egg was on the smaller side, I added a spoonful of olive oil for better binding. I purchased the ground beef from Trader Joe's; although I usually opt for their leanest option (96/4), the 90/10 blend worked well and possibly contributed to the burgers not being too dry. I lined a baking sheet with foil, sprayed it with PAM, and broiled the burgers in the middle of the oven for about 15 minutes. To enhance the flavor, I brushed the tops with chili sauce once they were done cooking. I served them on toasted whole wheat seeded hamburger buns, which I typically reserve for turkey burgers - they paired nicely. While I was low on veggies, we used a mix of condiments such as mayo, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and relish to elevate the flavors. I was pleased that I could stretch a 1 lb pack of meat from making 4 burgers to 6 with this recipe.

I didn't have powdered ranch dressing available, so I used Italian seasoning instead. I also swapped the crackers for seasoned Panko breadcrumbs. I will definitely be making this recipe again! 😊

Review rewritten: This dish definitely resembles meatloaf, and personally, I find that quite appealing. Lately, the quality of store-bought hamburger meat seems to have lost its flavor, prompting the need to enhance it with additional seasonings. When I prepared this recipe, I made a few modifications. I substituted 1/4 cup of dry old-fashioned oatmeal for saltine crackers, as it's more to my liking. To elevate the taste without increasing the salt content, I opted to use only half a packet of ranch dressing mix. To this, I added 1/2 teaspoon of salt-free dry curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt-free Mrs. Dash seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon of salt-free onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon of ground celery seed, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Additionally, I included a heaping teaspoon of finely minced garlic from those small jars found in stores, renowned for their use in Chinese restaurants. The resulting flavor was outstanding! Ensure thorough mixing of the finely chopped onion, oats, and hamburger to evenly distribute the seasonings. An essential tip: exercise caution when flipping the patties to prevent them from falling apart. Cook them slowly on one side until fully done, then flip them just once to cook the other side through.

My partner and I decided to give this recipe a try today, and we were pleasantly surprised by how delicious it turned out. Taking advice from other reviewers, I added 2 envelopes of Ranch dressing seasoning, included the egg and onion, but reduced the amount of crackers to just over 1/4 cup. I cooked it on a grill pan, and the result was a flavorful and moist dish. I will definitely be making this again in the future!

Following the recipe exactly, I found these to be quite enjoyable. They turned out a bit too moist, requiring a 30-minute chill in the fridge to firm up and hold their shape. The flavor was excellent, especially if you're a fan of onions, as they really shine through. A refreshing departure from traditional burgers. Appreciate it!

I have prepared these burgers a few times now and they result in a flavorful and juicy patty. However, I believe a couple of minor adjustments could elevate this recipe to a five-star rating. For those who think the flavor is too much like meatloaf, I tried using Worcestershire sauce instead of the egg the second time, and it turned out wonderfully. Additionally, I included finely chopped bacon and garlic in the patties for an extra burst of flavor. I will definitely be making these again, with a few tweaks to the original recipe, the next time my family is craving burgers.

Decent job on these, even though I may have overcooked them a bit. They still turned out pretty good.

I absolutely adore these burgers. They pair well with any toppings of your choice. Personally, I think adding avocado would be a wonderful choice.

I personally enjoy the Hidden Valley Ranch recipe found on the back of the 4-pack box more. Once a burger contains an egg, it no longer remains a burger but transitions into a meatloaf.

I cooked this dish tonight without the egg and crackers since I didn't have any crackers at home. It turned out really tasty, and I will definitely be making it again following the same recipe.

Great! This is the best ranch burger I have ever made.

Updating my review: To achieve the perfect thickness and prevent your burger from falling apart, I used a 1/2 cup measuring scoop with a small heap of meat. I patted it down to about 1/2 inch thickness, creating burgers that fit perfectly on regular buns.

I purchased the chipotle ranch dressing and it provides spice enthusiasts with the extra kick that I believe this recipe was missing! Absolutely delicious and will definitely be a staple in my kitchen.

My daughter prepared these delicious burgers using a generous amount of Emeril's Bam!burger seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, a hint of onion powder, and garlic powder. Topped with green olives on the bun, they were absolutely fantastic!
