1 lb Lean ground chicken (or lean ground turkey or lean ground beef)
2 tbs Dry fiesta ranch dip mix (Regular dry ranch mix would also work!)
1/4 cup Salsa, plus more for dopping
2 Pepper Jack cheese sticks or block cheese, each cut into 4 equal pieces
Jalapenos, diced to taste
Jalapeno ranch
Bacon
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Place ground meat into a medium size bowl with dry dip mix, jalapenos and salsa. Mix until well combined.
Make 8 thin patties with the meat, (don’t worry, meat should be very wet, which makes for moist and flavorful burgers!)
Place 4 of the patties on broiler pan, and put 2 of the cheese stick pieces in the middle of each burger. Place the other patty on top of the bottom patty, and lightly press sides together, to seal cheese in.
Bake in pre-heated oven for 15 minutes. Flip burgers, and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Top with bacon and ranch.
