Firehouse Cheeseburgers
with Fried Onions, Garlic Asparagus & Creamy Ranch Sauce
- Milk
- Eggs

- Wheat
If you love hot sauce with every meal, these burgers are for you. We blend ground beef patties with both tangy hot sauce AND Frank’s seasoning for layers of spicy, zesty flavor, then top them with Monterey Jack for the melt-factor. They’re sandwiched between toasted potato buns and topped with crispy fried onions and a generous swipe of creamy ranch for cooling contrast. After all, how does that old saying go—“hot sauce and spice makes everything nice”? That sounds right to us.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later), and a big pinch of salt and pepper. • Roast on middle rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus. Swap in asparagus for potatoes; roast until lightly browned and tender, 10-12 minutes. (Save potatoes for another use.)
• While potatoes roast, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, ranch dressing, and remaining garlic powder; season with salt and pepper. TIP: If you like things spicy, add a dash of hot sauce—just be sure to save some for forming your patties!
• In a large bowl, combine beef*, Frank’s Seasoning, a dash of Frank’s hot sauce, and salt. Form into two patties (four patties for 4 servings), each slightly wider than a burger bun. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add patties and cook until browned and cooked to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side. In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, top patties with Monterey Jack; cover pan to melt cheese.
• While patties cook, halve and toast buns. Spread cut sides with creamy ranch sauce, then fill with patties and crispy fried onions. • Divide burgers between plates and serve with potato wedges on the side.
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Nice combo of flavors! I wish all the meals had similar intensity of flavor. Nice texture by adding the fried onions as well.
Everything about this burger is right and delicious. I'm not a fan of the russet potatoes that came with the kit but will get again only because it was one of the best burgers I've ever eaten.
The BEST burger you have! Amazing! Love the fried onions!
Good flavor, fun to make. Possibly a little too large of a meal.
Would have liked a slice of cheese instead of shredded- hard to sprinkle shredded while cooking on a grill
