Start by making the cream sauce. Combine 16 oz of sour cream with 1 packet of Ranch dry mix in a bowl.

Add the zest and juice of 1 lime to the sour cream mixture.

Cut 2 small avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the sour cream mixture.

Mash the avocados into the mixture and whisk until combined, adjusting the consistency with milk as needed.

Set the cream sauce aside and refrigerate it to keep it fresh.

In a skillet, heat olive oil and add 1 lb of ground beef, 1 chopped onion, and 1 chopped celery. Cook until the beef is no longer pink.

In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 4 teaspoons of baking soda and set aside.

Once the beef is cooked, add 1 can of condensed tomato soup, celery seed, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Mix well and remove from heat to cool.

In the flour mixture, add 1 egg and 1 cup of milk, whisking until combined. The mixture will thicken.

Add the cooled beef mixture to the batter, along with 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and mix until combined. Adjust the batter consistency with more milk if necessary.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and pour in the batter to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.
