Instructions
- In a bowl combine ground smoked beef, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Divide mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a ¾‑inch thick patty, making a small indentation in the center.
- Preheat grill or skillet over medium‑high heat; lightly oil the surface if using a skillet.
- Cook patties 5‑7 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.
