The salad looks delicious but could you tell me how you get the thin edges on the burger. It kind of looks like the butter burgers at Culvers. Thanks.

Thanks JoAnn L, I just shape the ground beef into a ball and flatten it with my hand to the desired thickness trying to leave it a little thicker in the center.

Looks great, and I will take the burger too while I am at it!

This salad sounds and looks really good. Have you made it without the chicken? If so, did you miss the chicken? Thanks in advance.

 

[Ol-blue]

OK Maverick2272...Burger is on it's way.

Eriu, I have left out the chicken and did not miss it at all. The bacon really adds the flavor in this salad. I only added the chicken because my son asked for me to add some. I make another pasta salad that is similar, only without the Ranch dressing that he likes a lot.

 

[Eriu]

It sounds really good. I think I may try it this weekend sans chicken. Thanks so much.

 

[Ol-blue]

Eriu, Thanks! I hope you enjoy the salad as much as my family does. Enjoy! Debbie

I made this and I loved it. I messed up a little. I do not have packages of the ranch mix, instead I have a large container. I think I may have put a tad bit too much of the ranch seasoning in the salad, but I still loved it.

Thanks so much for sharing.

I will have to measure a package for you and let you know. I have had people tell me the ranch dressing comes in big containers. I have looked in my area but cant find it. I will get back to you.

I make a lot of the chex mix so I bought the ranch mix at Sams Club.

I wonder if Costco has it. We don't have a Sams Club close to us anymore.

 

[Eriu]

I've never been to a Costco, but they may carry it. Sam's carries the Hidden Valley brand.

Wow, after typing in this thread I think I am going to go make another batch to take for my lunch this week.

 

[Ol-blue]

Thanks, I will check Costco next time. I just may have to make some also. My son would love some in his lunch this week.
