Ranch Cheddar Burgers. The PERFECT SUMMER BBQ recipe.

I have been banned from the BBQ.  Seriously.  When hubs and I were dating I overcooked a steak and that was it for my BBQing days.  That was over 10 years ago. 

That all changed when I found this recipe for Ranch Cheddar Burgers over at Once A Month Mom.  The ban was lifted.  I did not take any pictures of my own burgers. I promise to update with my own pictures the next time I make them!

There are a few things about this recipe.  These freeze great!  So make extra for the freezer for those hectic summer days.  Trust me, you will thank yourself for that!  The other thing is the homemade ranch.  Dont freak out!  Not as hard as it sounds.  The recipe is included here too.  Again make extra.  You will feel better knowing what your family is eating!

Ranch Cheddar Burgers

Lisa @ Onceamonthmom.com

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 cup shredded or cubed cheddar cheese
• 3 Tbsp Ranch Dressing Mix

Make your own Ranch Dressing Mix:

• 5 Tbsp dried minced onions
• 7 tsp parsley flakes
• 4 tsp salt
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion salt

**To make a dressing from the dry ranch dressing mix: Combine 2 Tbsp dry mix with 3/4 cup buttermilk.

Directions:

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. If desired, during the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt. Serve warm on hamburger buns with tomatoes, lettuce and ranch dressing.

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. If desired, during the last minute of grilling/frying, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.

Friday Night Shopper’s Drug Mart Deals ~ May 18th

So my daughter guilted me into taking a quick trip to Shopper’s Drug Mart tonight. Since it was such a lovely evening and hubby was out at an appointment I decided to agree and go for a walk.

When I first arrived, I didn’t really see anything that was a good deal.  I had had a look at last weeks flyer and the new flyer that starts tomorrow and still really didn’t see much to get excited about.  The nice thing about visiting Shopper’s on a Friday night is you can get both flyer deals on the same night.  They start marking the shelves with the sales that start Saturday morning around 7:30pm (at least at my local store).  So we hung around for a bit and walked around the store until we could see the price changes happening.  We took one last ditch effort to find some deals and came home with over $46.00 worth of items for just $14.93+tax.

Here is the breakdown……………

4 x Lady SpeedStick Reg. $5.00 /Sale $2.99-4 x $1.00 off coupon from SmartSource Insert=4 x $1.99 each
