Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground turkey, cook until patties reach minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Roast the Potatoes

    Quarter potatoes.

    Place potatoes, 1 Tbsp. olive oil , and ranch seasoning (not ranch dressing; that goes on cooked potatoes) on prepared baking sheet. Massage oil and seasoning into potatoes. Spread into a single layer. Have a little sous chef around? With supervision, have them help season and massage the potatoes.

    Roast in hot oven until browned and tender, 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    While potatoes roast, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Toast Buns and Make Bacon Mixture

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Working in batches if necessary, add buns, cut-side down, to hot pan. Toast until slightly browned, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer buns to a plate. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

    While buns toast, line a microwave-safe bowl with a paper towel. Add bacon to towel-lined bowl.

    Microwave uncovered until crispy, 1-2 minutes.

    Carefully remove from microwave. Discard paper towels. Stir in caramelized onions (not crispy onions; those go on the burger later) until combined. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Form ground beef into four equally-sized patties, 5" across. Season both sides with seasoned salt.

    Return pan used to toast buns to medium-high heat.

    Add patties to hot, dry pan. Cook until lightly charred and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese and Finish Dish

    Evenly top patties with bacon mixture, then cheese.

    Cover, and cook until cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping bottom bun with patty, crispy onions, then top bun. Garnish potatoes with dressing. Bon appétit!
