Ranch beef burgers may become your new favorite burger! Perfectly seasoned beef, crispy bacon and cheese, piled onto whole grain buns with your favorite burger fixins!

The weather seems to have finally broken from unforgiving levels of humidity and turned cool to match my over excited Fall mood. This weekend happened to be one of the best we have had in a long time and we wanted to make the most of it. I've got some wicked new mountain biking bruises to prove it. 😉 With the turn towards hoodies and boots, this may be the last burger I post for the season - and that's OK, because it's going to be hard to top perfection.

What makes a Ranch Burger?

Don't be worried about having to slather your burger in ranch dressing. The secret to the flavor of the Ranch burger is actually a dry ranch seasoning, somewhat like what Doritos Cool Ranch tries to convey. It is what gives the dressing it's distinctive spice and, mixed in with your beef, gives it just the right amount of body to let you know that it's there. It makes for a darn good burger. How good is this burger? It might be my favorite burger of the night 😉

Ha! OK, it's good - but there are far too many awesome burgers in the world for this one to prance around with a crown on calling itself the best. Buuut.

As far as simple, classic burgers go, Ranch beef burgers won't leave you disappointed.

Now, before the weather turns terribly cold and nasty - fire up those coals one more time and enjoy a bite of this with me. Oh... don't forget the fries!

    Ranch seasoning has come a long way from just being for dressing. It does enhance the flavoring of a lot of food. Your burgers really look good, I will need to try. It is only cool out, so grilling outside is still a pleasant task. Kudos to you braving the cold to grill.

    oo what a great burger. I was delighted to see that you used the dry mix in the burger instead of using it as a dressing. I think that makes for a better burger.

    Cold doesn't stop me either! The heavy rain might, but I think I'll have to pull the BBQ around to the front of my garage and just BBQ out the front of it! Haha! Indoor BBQ. This burger is making my mouth water. I've been on a veggie rampage lately but I'll always have room in my heart for a thick, juicy burger!

      Thank goodness! Handsome doesn't understand my love of charcoal - nor does he appreciate the flavor.... It makes me so sad. At least your hubby is doing it right!
