Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp ranch dressing
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 sliced tomatoes
- 4 sliced cheese (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, honey, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands, gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix as it can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties, slightly larger than the burger buns since they will shrink slightly during cooking.
Heat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side without pressing down on the patties to retain the juices.
Flip the patties and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium-well doneness.
If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt it slightly.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or skillet, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and any additional toppings you like.
Drizzle a little extra ranch dressing on the top half of the bun if desired, then place it on top to complete the burger.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries or a fresh salad.
