    We've been using the Keyhole pit quite a bit since the beginning of the month, this coming weekend being the big one....but man I had a hankering for some ranch burgers......

    Also minced up some pepperochini peppers and mixed them in....

    Cooked over Applewood splits!

    Smoke phase.......wow does it smell good!!

    Ok, its nothing fancy.......

    3.5lbs of 85/90 burger
    2 packets Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning
    2 eggs
    1c minced pepperochini
    2 tbsp A-1 steak sauce

    Make sure you soak the juice from the pepperochini before you mince them. The eggs act as a binder, without the egg, they crumble apart...

    Mix all the ingredients thoroughly in a bowl, size them to your liking. I try to name mine 1/3lbs each, I like big, juicy burgers.

    And, whatever you do, DO NOT squish the juices from them when cooking!!!!! Just flip/brown/repeat until they are done.

    Scotty, made some of those burgers to your recipe specs today. They are great! Grandkids are coming over and wanted to make them in advance. Cooked the one odd one on the gas grill a few minutes ago. The wife and I split it cause we just had lunch before making them. Mrs. Al gives her approval too. Will take pics tomorrow.
