So, I think about this blog almost daily. "Hm, I wonder if I should post tonight's supper on my blog?" and "I wonder if anyone actually cares about the blog?" and "I should probably try to post to the blog tonight." I have about 4-6 recipes I want to share and already have the pics taken, but it seems like I just never have the time to write about them! Time just flies....I was thinking that it's been about a week since my last post, so I should add a new one...it's been TWO WEEKS! Shame on me!
Memorial Day is like the "Official Summer Kick-Off" for our family. Clean off the grill, check the propane tank, open the swimming pool, buy flowers to plant outside, have a picnic, etc. When my mom asked what I wanted her to make for the picnic, the first thing that came to mind? Chicken, bacon, ranch burgers! Now, don't get me wrong....I love a good juicy hamburger, but these are my favorite. The kicker? I made up the recipe myself!
(shown on a whole wheat bun, before I dressed it up!)
Chicken Bacon Ranch Burgers
Ingredients
2 lbs. ground chicken
1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch dressing/dip mix (3 Tbsp according to the large canister I get)
2 oz real bacon pieces (at my local Wal-Mart, these are with the salad dressings and croutons)
**optional** 'burger fixin's (bun, onion, lettuce, tomato, cheese, ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)
Directions
(1) Mix all ingredients together, well.
(2) Form patties (I usually get 5 patties).
(3) Grill 'em on medium heat for about 10 mins., flip and grill for another 5 mins.
On my grill, this temp and timing cooks them the whole way through without overdoing it and drying them out. Other grills may vary!
****Points Plus Value: 4* JUST for the burger, no bun or anything else****
****Any variations to this recipe could change the points value!!****
Thank-you to all the service men and women who have, are, or will serve our country!
