Low Fat Hidden Valley Ranch Burgers

Submitted by Shuzbud

"This is a reduced fat version of the recipe on the back of the Hidden Valley Ranch packet that we absolutely loved making and eating this summer! I adapted it to suit my Weight Watchers programme. You could also try this recipe with ground turkey, although we love it with lean ground beef."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 4 burgers

ingredients

• sliced tomatoes (optional topping)
• sliced red onion (optional topping)

directions

1. Mix the dry ranch salad dressing mix thoroughly into the ground beef.
2. Shape into 4 burger patties.
3. Cook the burgers thoroughly- we grill them on the barbecue for the best flavour.

5. Serve the burgers on the burger buns with low fat mayonnaise or ketchup and your favourite salad toppings.
