Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Cut potatoes into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges. Roughly crush croutons in their bag. TIP: Cut a small slit in the bag to let some air out first.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy, 5-7 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe out pan.
• While mushrooms cook, toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the Ranch Spice (you’ll use the rest later), a big pinch of salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Heat pan used for mushrooms over medium-high heat. Add bacon*; cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer bacon to a paper- towel-lined plate. Carefully discard all but a thin layer of bacon fat (you’ll use it to cook the patties in step 6).
• While bacon cooks, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and ranch dressing. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. • Halve buns. Toast directly on middle rack, cut sides up, until golden, 2-3 minutes.
• Transfer mushrooms to a cutting board; finely chop. • In a medium bowl, gently combine beef*, chopped mushrooms, half the Parmesan, remaining Ranch Spice, salt (we used 1⁄2 tsp; 1 tsp for 4 servings), and pepper. • Form mixture into two patties (four patties for 4), each slightly wider than a burger bun. • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan with bacon fat over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook until browned, 3-5 minutes per side. • In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, top each patty with Monterey Jack; cover and cook until cheese melts and patties reach desired doneness.
• In a large bowl, toss mixed greens (reserve a bit of the mixed greens for burgers) with Caesar dressing; taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. Sprinkle with crushed croutons and remaining Parmesan. • Spread cut sides of top buns with as much ranch mayo as you like. Fill buns with patties and bacon; top with reserved mixed greens. • Divide burgers, potatoes, and salad between plates. Serve with any remaining ranch mayo on the side for dipping.

Reviews from our home cooks
Would have been 4 stars if you had a 5 star system. I will order again because I put the wrong cheese in my salad. That's my fault. I also cooked the burger in a cast iron pan and got a great crust on it, but I'm partial to burgers on a grill. I'll do that next time.
Great burger, never sautéed mushrooms so this was a first. It was wonderful. Very tasty
The tastiest burger I've ever eaten, my only complaint is that is way too much salad for the smidge of dressing provided
Way easier than I thought and less dishes! I love the variety in the sides provided. I'm sick of potatoes and carrots and or broccoli.
This is the best thing I've ever gotten! So flavorful and delicious. And the sides were amazing as well!
Was amazing! I honestly thought it wouldn't be enough food but it was perfect!
I added bell peppers and onions to the patty. *chefs kiss*
I'm not a fan of mushrooms or ranch dressing but I gave this a shot and was pleasantly surprised.
Mushroom in patty is great option! Buns are too small for burger patty, if I choose a burger again, I will get larger brioche from the bakery
Burgers were not big enough. 20 ounces was not enough beef for a family of 4. Flavor was fine.
