    Nice TRY Hidden Vally Ranch marketing intern!

    You’ll have to pry my top secret recipe for HVR jello from my cold dead fingers…

    Mix it into ground beef for some burger patties. The taste comes through a bit, which is great, but the real perk is for some reason it makes it ridiculously juicy.

    Popcorn. Tortilla chips. And I want to say Triscuits, but I have no experience with that. Or the chips.

    Chex mix. Add a little oil and spread it out on a baking sheet. Toss in the oven for a little bit to really get it in there.

    Bread sticks. Brush with melted butter. Dust with ranch powder.

    Bacon. Dust immediately after it finishes cooking. Eat as is or do things with the bacon (burgers, sandwiches, pizza)

    French fries. (Edit: call them ‘franch fries’!)

    Sautéed mushrooms, or green beans.

    I feel like you could start a series of posts: “[food item], 10/10 with ranch”

    I tried it once to see what Americans were fussing about constantly on TV etc, I wasn’t very impressed with it. Its Basically a overpriced version of a cheap salad cream with chives from what I could gauge.

    Was the Newmans brand I bought, not saying it’s awful but to me I’d go thousand Island over Ranch any single day of the week.

      Bottled ranch dressing from the store is never good in my experience (even the bottled hidden valley ranch). You need ranch from a restaurant (which can be hit or miss depending on the place) or make the ranch at home. You need hidden valley ranch powder, buttermilk, mayo, and sour cream.
