- Before starting, lightly oil the grill.
- While you prep, preheat the grill to medium-high (approx. 500°F).
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Reserving pickle juice, strain pickles. Roughly chop half the pickles.
- Halve buns.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch slices.
- Layer two 12x12-inch pieces of foil. Arrange onions on one side of the foil. Drizzle with 1 tbsp oil. (NOTE: For 4 servings, make 2 pouches, using 1 tbsp oil and 2 sheets of foil per pouch.) Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Fold foil in half over onions and pinch edges to seal pouch.
- To a large bowl, add ranch and reserved pickle juice. Season with pepper, then whisk to combine.
- To the bowl, add spring mix and chopped pickles.
- Place in the fridge. (NOTE: The salad will be tossed in step 5.)
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To a medium bowl, add beef, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic salt and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) pepper, then combine.
- Form mixture into 2 (4) equal-sized balls.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a spatula, flatten balls into 1/4-inch-thick patties. Season with salt.
- On one side of the grill, place the foil pouch with onions. Close lid and grill for 10-13 min, until tender.
- Meanwhile, add patties to the other side of the grill.
- Reduce heat to medium, close lid and grill patties for 4-5 min, until golden on grilled side.
- Flip patties, then sprinkle cheese over top. Close lid and grill for 4-5 min, until patties are cooked through and cheese is melted.**
- When patties are almost done, add buns to the top shelf of the grill, cut-side down.
- Close lid and grill for 1-2 min, until toasted. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.)
- Spread ketchup over top buns. Stack remaining pickles, then patties and grilled onions on bottom buns. Close with top buns.
- Divide burgers and pickle salad between plates.
- Flavor: Some found the burgers bland and dry, while others enjoyed them; consider adding extra seasonings or condiments for more flavor.
- Ease of prep: Kids were able to make this meal, indicating it's simple and family-friendly to prepare.
- Suggestions: Try smashing the patties thinner for a better texture; consider adding egg, panko crumbs, onion, or Worcestershire sauce to boost flavor.
- Portions: Several reviewers mentioned the burgers shrank significantly during cooking; you may want to make larger patties.
- Salad: The pickle ranch salad received mixed reviews; some loved it while others found it bland or weird.
