Ranch Grilled Bread Recipes

BACON RANCH CHEESY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the Monterey Jack, Cheddar, parsley, bacon and onion whites in a bowl and mix well.
• Cut the bread in strips in one direction, being careful not to cut all the way through the loaf. Rotate the bread 90 degrees and cut in the other direction to create small squares across the top of the loaf. Move slowly and use caution. Place the bread on a large sheet of aluminum foil.
• Stuff the cheese mixture in between the rows of squares. Mix the melted butter and ranch dressing, then drizzle over the top. Wrap the loaf in the foil and bake for 25 minutes. Open the foil and continue to bake until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly, another 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the onion greens and serve immediately.

GRILLED BREAD (GARLIC OR PLAIN!)

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees).
• Brush each side of the bread lightly with olive oil. Place the slices on a baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 pinch of salt on top of each. Grill 1 to 2 minutes per side, until crispy and just starting to char on the edges.
• Remove from the heat. If desired, rub each slice with the cut side of the garlic and a bit of butter or additional olive oil (we rubbed on a small pat of butter between all the slices). Add another sprinkle of kosher salt if serving plain as garlic bread, and top with chopped herbs if desired.

GRILLED BREAD (PANE ALLA GRILLIA)

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice ciabatta in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into 1-inch slices. In batches as needed, grill the ciabatta slices, cut side down until they are golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Working quickly, drizzle the toasted sides with extra-virgin olive oil. Rub the garlic cloves over the grilled bread, then rub the cut side of the tomatoes over the grilled bread. It's important to do this while the bread is still hot or warm, otherwise the garlic won't melt into the bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve warm.

CHICKEN BACON RANCH SANDWICH ROLL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF.
• Lay out bacon slices on a parchment-lined sheet tray. Generously brush each slice with Frank's Red Hot Original. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until bacon is browned and cooked through. Drain bacon on a paper towel, keeping the hot sauce brushed side facing up. Set aside.
• Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a large cutting board (the entire board should be covered with plastic). Place 1 slice of bread in the upper left corner of the board. Brush the right edge of the bread with whisked egg, then place a second slice of bread next to the first so that it overlaps with the egg wash. Press the two seams of bread together with fingers to seal. Repeat with the rest of the bread, forming 3 rows of 4 slices, brushing with egg wash and pressing to seal wherever the slices overlap. This will form a large rectangle of bread.
• Use a rolling pin to roll out the bread rectangle as thinly as possible.
• In the center of the rectangle, lay out half of the chicken in a row. Top with a drizzle of ranch dressing. Arrange half of the bacon slices on top (horizontally), followed by half of the sliced cheese and half of the spinach. Repeat layering with the rest of the ingredients.
• Brush the top edge of the sandwich roll with whisked egg. Roll the entire sandwich up from the bottom to form a long log. Wrap log tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Lower oven temperature to 350ºF.
• Mix together melted butter and ranch in a small bowl. Unwrap the sandwich log, place on a sheet tray, and brush sandwich surface with ranch butter.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, until bread is lightly golden and cheese is melted.
• Slice and serve. (Optional: Serve with more ranch for dipping.)
• Enjoy!

RANCH BURGERS FROM HIDDEN VALLEY®

Steps:

• Preheat the grill or broiler.
• In a large bowl, combine the beef, seasoning mix, onion, and pepper and mix well. If desired, add bread crumbs to meat mixture, too.
• With wet hands shape the meat mixture into 6 patties, each about 1-inch thick. Grill the burgers for 5 to 7 minutes per side or until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached and juices run clear.
• Serve the burgers topped with the lettuce and tomato.

GRILLED SWEETBREADS

Steps:

• Rinse sweetbreads well, then transfer to a 6-quart pot and add water, vinegar, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer gently 10 minutes. Drain sweetbreads in a colander, then transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water to cool.
• While sweetbreads are cooling, prepare grill for cooking over direct heat with medium-hot charcoal (moderately high heat for gas; see "Grilling Procedure").
• Drain sweetbreads, then pat dry gently and separate into roughly 1 1/2-inch pieces (about 20) using your fingers. Toss sweetbread pieces with oil in a bowl, then thread onto skewers (about 5 pieces on each). Season with salt and pepper.
• Grill sweetbreads on lightly oiled grill rack (covered only if using a gas grill), turning occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes total. Transfer to a platter and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes.
