This recipe is a super, super easy make-ahead freezer meal and an ideal meal to make if you are doing a lot of freezer cooking/prep meals in a day. I got 8 burgers out of 2 lb of ground turkey, which is more than enough for 2 meals for our family. Brian had no idea this had ranch dressing mixed into it. Instead of cheddar cubes, I decided to use shredded cheddar instead. Although it kept it fairly moist, it totally lost the cheese flavoring. I left Brian's burgers w/out cheese and I could hardly tell which had the cheese and which did not. I would make this again for my family but would just put shredded cheddar in all of them (he'll never know!). If I wasn't trying to keep this healthy I would definitely try it with the cheese cubes. I think it would have been great! But for us, for now, shredded cheddar is just fine.
2 lbs ground beef
1 cubed cheddar cheese
3 Tbsp Ranch Dressing Mix
Combine beef, ranch dressing mix and shredded cheddar cheese. Gently shape 6 patties of equal size and thickness. With your thumb, or back of a spoon, make a shallow indentation about 1 inch wide in the center of each patty. This helps that patties to cook evenly. Grill patties over direct high heat with the lid closed as much as possible, until cooked to medium doneness – 8-10 minutes, turning once. Or cook in fry pan on stove top over med- high heat until done.
