"These are each served open-faced on a single piece of toasted bread, but you can certainly double up there. I’m seriously considering doing these in the Cameron’s Smoker I just got… :o)"

Questions & Replies

Will the ranch mix keep the avocado from browning if you make it a day before you use it or would I need to add a little lime?

I used ingredients I had on hand. Arugula instead of lettuce, plain medium cheddar cheese instead of smoked, frozen halves of avocado's with a bit of lime, and ciabatta buns toasted in the toaster on the bagel setting. Oh, and since my grill is torn apart, I did the meat on a griddle on my stove top. Turned out great!

I used ground chicken instead of beef, because I don't eat beef at all & it was so good this way also. Thanks for sharing

This was great! I added garlic to my mixture, and accidentally added a little bit of the shred cheese, but it still turned out great! The cheese inside the mixture makes the patty burn a little! That's okay though. The ranch and avocado was a HUGE hit! Thanks for sharing, this one's a keeper.

Everyone really enjoyed these! The avocado and ranch complimented each other really well, and the burgers were very moist. Yummy! Thanks Sandi!
