Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood-smoked bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

  3. 3

    Cook the patties

    In the same skillet, cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on each patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the burgers

    Toast the burger buns lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, tomato slices, the cheese-topped burger patty, crispy bacon, pickles, and a generous drizzle of buttermilk ranch dressing. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Rancho Deluxe Burgers immediately with extra pickles and ranch dressing on the side, if desired.
