“We use our grill all year, and this recipe is quick and easy enough for busy weeknights,” writes Kathleen Dougherty from Williamsville, Illinois. Her hefty burgers make a nice alternative to ground beef, and the ranch dressing punches up the flavor.

Ingredients

1/2 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon ranch salad dressing mix
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 slices Swiss cheese
2 hamburger buns, split
Lettuce leaves and tomato slices, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the pork, dressing mix, onion and pepper. Shape into two patties.
Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160°. Top each patty with a cheese slice; cover and grill just until cheese begins to melt. Serve on buns with lettuce and tomato if desired.
