How to Make Ultimate Cheeseburger

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/4 cup Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix, and 1 large egg. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  2. Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F (71°C).
  4. While the patties grill, toast your hamburger buns to your liking.
  5. Serve the juicy cheeseburgers on toasted buns with your favorite cheeses and toppings. Suggestions include lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, bacon, and more!
  6. Enjoy your Ultimate Cheeseburger!
