Ingredients

• 2 pounds of Lean Ground Beef
• 1 oz. Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 packet or 3 Tbsp Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Mix
• ½ cup crushed regular Fritos Corn Chips
• 1 Egg lightly beaten

• Grill your burgers for 4 - 5 minutes on each side at 350 – 400 degrees, or until done.

• To grill or to not grill your buns?? Your Choice!! I love to add some butter to the inside of the buns, and grill them just until a little toasty.
• Build your burgers… bun, burger, optional grilled onions, lettuce and tomato, and ENJOY!!

Notes

These Ranch Burgers are also Freezer-Friendly!

If you want to freeze these for later, carefully stack burgers with Wax Paper separating patties, and transfer to a Freezer Ziploc bag, and place in Freezer, standing up.
