Ranch Cheddar Burgers
2 lbs ground beef
1 cup shredded or cubed cheddar cheese
3 tbsp. dry ranch dressing
Combine beef, ranch dressing mix and shredded cheddar cheese. Gently shape 6 patties of equal size and thickness. With your thumb, or back of a spoon, make a shallow indentation about 1 inch wide in the center of each patty. This helps the patties to cook evenly. Place a small square of wax or parchment paper between each patty and place in a gallon size freezer bag.
Serving Day:
Thaw desired number of patties. Grill patties over direct high heat with the lid closed as much as possible, until cooked to medium doneness - 8-10 minutes, turning once. Or cook in fry pan on stove stop over med-high heat until done. If desired, during the last minute of grilling/frying, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt. Serve warm on hamburger buns with tomatoes, lettuce and ranch dressing.
