Pepperjack Ranch Burger on a Grilled Cheese 'Bun'

These were so much fun to make!  I made them for my husband's birthday a few years ago.  I was inspired by the show Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives on the Food Network. 


Burger Ingredients:
  • A packet of dry Hidden Valley Ranch mix
  • 1 pound of ground beef
  • Diced onion
  • One egg
Combine ingredients and cook to desired doneness.

Other Ingredients:
  • A handful of frozen onion rings
  • 4 slices of bread per burger
  • Various sliced cheese (I used American for the grilled cheese 'buns' and Pepperjack for the burger)
  • Iceberg lettuce
  • Mayo/ketchup/mustard
  • A bit of butter for the grilled cheese
Start the onion rings as the burgers go on.  Cook at least one large onion ring for each burger.  If you really like onion rings go for more!

When there's about five minutes left for the burgers, make the grilled cheese buns.  You will need two per burger (one for the top of the bun, one for the bottom of the bun).

When everything is done layer it up and enjoy! 

Tip:  I stuck a butter knife through the burger when I served it, since I figured some people would prefer to cut it up to eat it - these end up being pretty tall!
