Directions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your oven broiler to high.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and the entire package of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix.
-
Mix gently by hand until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the meat, being careful not to overwork the beef.
-
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form each into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
-
Make a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to help prevent bulging during cooking.
-
Grill or broil the patties for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
-
Serve the hot patties on toasted hamburger buns with your favorite toppings.

Note
For best results, use 80/20 ground beef to ensure the patties remain juicy and flavorful.
Do not add extra salt or seasoning to the meat, as the ranch packet is already salted.
If using a broiler, place the baking sheet on the middle rack and watch closely to prevent burning.
Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.
Note: The original source listed this as "Vegan," but ground beef is not vegan. This recipe is for beef burgers. For a vegan version, substitute with a plant-based ground meat alternative.
