Savory Ranch Burger

Who doesn't love a good Burger? There are so many ways to make them; it's hard to get tired of them. First, you have the meat: Turkey, Beef, Bison, or Steak. Then there are the countless topping possibilities: Ketchup, BBQ Sauce, Ranch, Cheese, Bacon, Avocado, A1, Eggs, Fired Onion, Lettuce, and the list goes on and on. This burger is the perfect savory burger with a Ranch kick, my current obsession! I created this burger while doing my first Whole30. I needed more variety of flavor; I felt like I was in a rut when eating the same foods because they were easy to make. I am in love!!

The beginning:

Many different attempts went into making this burger perfect. The biggest challenge was finding grain-free breadcrumbs and the right amount. After a few fails, I attempted using Almond Flour. I have been using it ever since! I have been using almond flour in burgers, meatballs, and crabcakes. Almond Flour is excellent at holding the burger together. It absorbs the juices nicely without drying out your burger, which is critical for the perfect burger.

One last but important trick to the perfect Savory Ranch Burger...

A cast iron skillet is the best way to cook a burger when not using the grill. You are missing out if you haven't cooked a burger in a cast iron skillet! Before adding the burger, pre-heat the skillet with oil to get it nice and hot. I like to use Avocado or Duck Fat when making them. It tolerates the heat well and helps get the burgers a bit crispier. Duck Fat is a healthy substitute for butter and oils. It gets hot quickly while adding those extra nutrients to your Savory Ranch Burger.

Don't want to use Duck Fat? Avocado Oil is a perfect substitute. It has a high heat point, unlike Olive Oil. If you use olive oil, reduce the temperature slightly to prevent it from getting smoky and burning. Whatever oil you use, you will love this delicious Savory Ranch Burger!! Top it with all your favorite fixings, and be sure to ENJOY!
