BBQ Bacon Ranch Burgers

These are so easy and SUPER yummy!! My boys and I all loved the way these burgers came out! I asked Kenneth to thaw something for dinner and he chose ground beef. I asked what he was in the mood for and he said "I don't know - burgers?" I was going to use our normal recipe and throw in some of the yummy real bacon bits we have, but then I remembered Ranch burgers and did a quick search. I couldn't find exactly what I thought I wanted, but was inspired to make these very easy and tasty burgers. We will definitely use this recipe again!
