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.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Roast Potatoes
1

• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into 1⁄2-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.

Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. Swap in broccoli for potatoes; roast 12-15 minutes. (Save potatoes for another use.)

Make Sauce
2

• 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!

Form & Cook Patties
3

• In a large bowl, combine beef*, Frank’s Seasoning, a dash of 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.

Finish & Serve
4

• 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°.

The sauce was great. So were the onions & cheese. The burgers were a little dry & not very flavorful. Maybe double the seasoning & add a liquid (milk, egg, etc.) or bump up the beef ratio to 80-20.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I'm not a huge beef patty person, but WOW! The flavor is a total changer. I toasted the bun & added garlic & herb seasoning to the potato wedge, super good.

Me and my boyfriend like spice and this burger was really good. We did add some spice to it but it was really good like the recipe.

Pretty good. The bread, buns, did not like being in refrigerator for 4 days before being eaten but they had good flavor. The sour cream, ranch sauce was a nice change BUT we liked the Monterey Burgers better. The dried onions were nice and crisp. We did not make the potatoes and had a green salad instead and sprinkled some of the onion on it.

Love the burgers. I didn't use all of the spice, maybe half of what was recommended. Love the sauce on the burgers

Wish you had alternate cooking ideas for sides. Everything is oven roasted, summer is way too hot for that. Made a potato salad and broccoli salad instead. Burgers were good, but not spicy at all given the name.

Loved, just the ranch had a tangy flavor that wasn't for me... mixed a garlic mayo sour cream instead because I'm particular about ranch dressing flavors.
