Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, about 4-6 minutes per side.
- Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dried milk, chives, parsley, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Set aside in the refrigerator.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, beaten egg, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from bulging while cooking.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or skillet surface.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of 160°F/70°C for well-done).
- During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty if desired, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Toast the hamburger buns on a grill or in a toaster until lightly golden (optional).
- Spread a generous amount of the homemade ranch dressing on the bottom half of each bun.
- Place a beef patty on top of the dressing.
- Add two slices of crispy bacon on each patty.
- Top with sliced tomato and shredded lettuce.
- Spread a bit more dressing on the top halves of the buns if desired and place on top to complete the burger.
- Serve the bacon ranch burgers immediately with your choice of side dishes such as fries, coleslaw, or a salad.
Tips:
- For perfectly crispy bacon, bake the strips on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes.
- Make sure the ground beef is at room temperature before mixing with the other ingredients to ensure even cooking.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor, especially when it comes to the vegetables.
- Let the burger patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices and enhance flavor.
- Toast the hamburger buns lightly to prevent them from becoming soggy and to add a bit of extra texture.
Your Bacon Ranch Burger with Lettuce and Tomato is now ready to be enjoyed. The homemade ranch dressing adds a tangy creaminess, while the bacon provides a satisfying crunch. Pair this burger with your favorite side dishes, and you have a meal that's not only delicious but also memorable. Happy cooking!
