INGREDIENTS

  • 2 pounds ground sirloin beef (90% lean)
  • 1 pkg (1 oz each) ranch salad and seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup Hunt’s® BBQ Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Wish-Bone® Ranch Dressing
  • PAM® Grilling Spray
  • 1 pkg (2.1 oz each) fully cooked bacon, heated
  • 6 slices Monterey Jack cheese, each slice cut diagonally into 2 triangles
  • 1 pkg (16 oz each) French bread rolls, sliced in half lengthwise, toasted
  • 6 leaves green leaf lettuce
  • French-fried onions, optional

DIRECTIONS

STEP ONE

Mix ground beef with seasoning mix in large bowl until well blended. Shape beef into 6 oblong patties, about 6 x 3-inches each. Whisk together barbecue sauce and dressing in small bowl; set aside.

STEP TWO

Spray grate of outdoor grill and utensils with grilling spray. Preheat grill to medium heat. Grill patties 5 minutes on one side or until juices begin to appear on surface. Turn patties over; top each with 3 slices bacon. Cook about 4 minutes longer; top each patty with 2 triangle pieces of cheese, overlapping to cover patty. Remove patties when cheese begins to melt.

STEP THREE

Spread barbecue-dressing mixture on bottom of each roll. Add a lettuce leaf. Place cooked patty with bacon and cheese on lettuce. Spoon additional barbecue-dressing mixture over cheese. Sprinkle with fried onions, if desired. Serve immediately.
