How to make the jalapeno ranch sauce

The jalapeno ranch sauce is the real signature to this recipe. It’s really easy to make! I like to buy the dry Hidden Valley Ranch Dry Salad dressing mix, and mix it up according to the directions on the package. I think this has the best flavor, and then pour that into a blender, add my pickled jalapeno peppers, and puree. Now you don’t need to make up your Ranch dressing fresh, you can use your favorite bottle of Ranch dressing mix!



Cook the bacon crispy!

Not too many people enjoy soggy bacon. I prepare my bacon by placing on a wire rack on a baking sheet, and then I bake my bacon in the oven. It takes minutes, and it doesn’t dirty up your kitchen!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup diced white onion
• 1 tablespoon butter for sauteing onions
• 1/4 pound bacon
• 2 slices American cheese
• 1 cup Ranch dressing
• 1 teaspoon chopped pickled jalapeno peppers
• 1 tablespoon butter for sliders
• 8 brioche buns or other slider buns

Instructions

Crispy Bacon

• Cook bacon in a large skillet and drain bacon on a wire rack. Wipe out the skillet, you may want to save the bacon grease for cooking. When the bacon has cooled, break the bacon into 2 to 3 inch pieces.

Jalapeno Ranch Sauce

• Place the ranch dressing, and pickled jalapenos into a blender.

• Puree until the dressing is smooth. This will taste better the longer it sits.

Sauteed Onions

• Add butter to a large skillet. When the butter has melted, add diced onion. Cook the onion until the onion until has become translucent. Remove the onions and set aside.

Hamburger Slider Directions

• Prepare the burgers by placing ground chuck into a bowl. Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper, mix well.

• Divide the seasoned ground beef into 8 portions. Place as many of the burger patties into the skillet without over crowding them.

• Cook the ground beef patties on each side for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the patty has browned. When the burger has browned add a ¼ of a slice of American cheese to each patty.

• Build the burger by placing cooked chopped onions and bacon on the bottom bun. Top with the burger patty, and drizzle some of the spicy ranch sauce on top of the meat. Add the top bun.
