The recipe sounds yummy. Now if it would just quit storming I could use the grill. Thanks for posting this recipe.

I think I'd mix that rub in with the meat before making the patties. sounds good, and I wouldn't want it just on the surface!

looks good gfc. the rub is very close to what i use on broiled or baked chicken except for the red and white pepper. does the white pepper make a difference? and is the red pepper hot, or is it red peppercorns?

I Love Ranch!

We eat ranch burgers at my house all the time except we just pour the dressing onto the burger, we would usually just season it with various spices, salt & pepper or season-all. I might have to try rubbing those spices in, it sounds really yummy. Thanks for the idea.

What do you think of rubbing a pouch of the powdered ranch dressing mix into the meat?

I just tried these yesterday and they were a huge success with my family! I mixed an envelope of ranch powder with the meat, and a bit of egg to make it hold together. I followed the suggested toppings, ranch dressing, french fried onions, lettuce and tomato - yummmm! Made 8 very happy people.
