According to Elijah, that is what I make. Considering he is one of the pickiest people I know, this is one of the highest compliments. Ever. They are ridiculously easy to make, consists of three extra ingredients, and they are gone in an instant. I have to credit my friend Steph for giving me this recipe, and here is what you’ll need:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 pkg of Ranch dressing (powdered)
Splash of barbecue sauce
Breadcrumbs
I was out of breadcrumbs, so I didn’t even use them. Just the ranch and BBQ sauce. I had a pound of beef, and about 1/2 pkg of the dressing. You can use more or less depending on your taste-buds. I used maybe 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce- I don’t measure, just guesstimate. Form them into patties and cook them. I always use my George Foreman grill, because I think it makes everything better
Perhaps the most crucial step is to butter the buns and toast them in the oven.
They really are good, but world famous- that’s debatable.
The first time I made them for my nephew he exclaimed that I needed to open up a restaurant and only sell the hamburgers and fries that I had ‘homemade’ (as in just cut the tators and fried them up). They are so easy, but the ranch and BBQ add just enough flavor to make them different from most, and even the pickiest of kids eat them.
If you try them, let me know how you liked them. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!!

I have done the ranch and the barbeque, but never together. I’ll have to try it!!
Cheers, Jenn
If you do, let me know how you like it!
Yum! John loves burgers AND ranch….sounds like a winner!
If you try them, let me know how they turn out!
Elijah seriously can NOT get enough of them!
It is so funny how kids so they things are famous. My son loves “Aunt Robin’s famous cookies” and “Granny’s famous chocolate cake”, too funny!
These are great…but I didn’t have a toasted bun…I will have to try it next time. And with cheese… ;OP
I was a total slacker, and didn’t toast your bun! Sorry
Next time I will!! And I’m sure they will be made again soon
