When you get together to tailgate and watch a baseball game what do you feed your hungry baseball fans?

Chips and salsa can’t be everything. Just bean dip? Nope. Pretzels. Sure, but there has to be something more.

Baseball tailgating deserves a MEAL. A real meal.

Hot dogs make sense, for sure. They’re all-American and synonymous with baseball. Steaks are incredible. They make everything a special occasion.

But how about going at it from a different angle? Why not create a really special dining experience for your crew?

Try a tailgating burger bar! It’ll have everyone talking the whole season long.

We all know there are all kinds of ways to enjoy a steakburger. So gather up some great recipes and let your guests have at it. Serve up lots of different variations on the burger and everyone will be happy. Even the kids and your pickiest baseball fan!

Try this recipe for a Cuban Burger. It has a decidedly flavorful essence and the great surprise is the addition of ham! How can you go wrong adding delicious ham? That’s not your everyday burger, for sure. Now we’re talking.

Another way to create a very different burger experience is with a burger sauce. This recipe for Jamaican Beef Pattie Sauce is a new twist on an old-fashioned burger. Made with coconut milk, shallots, curry and habanero peppers it’s got quite a kick!

Offer up some additional sauce choices and there will be something special for everyone to enjoy at your tailgating burger bar.

Be sure to include all the condiments anyone would need – relish, bacon, ketchup, mustard, mayo, cheese of all kinds, pickles, you name it! Don’t leave anything out.

And if you really want to go all out, offer different bun options. Brioche is a nice departure from the everyday white. But be sure to have those on hand, too.

Have fun with your very own baseball tailgating burger bar!

I’m busy, busy taking advantage of the sunshine and grill time I have this summer. And we’re cooking steaks like it’s going out of style.

But the REAL star of our summer?

Burgers!

They’re easy and everybody loves ‘em!

I like to buy a variety of steakburger flavors to keep it interesting. Vidalia onion steakburgers are delicious!

But we also like to try different burger recipes for flavor sensations that add some pop!

Now’s the time to have some fun in the sun and on the grill! Try these burger recipes this summer … Hawaiian, anyone???

Grilling time is in full swing now. How many times have you grilled burgers this season?

Well, make it feel like the first time with some new, inspiring steakburger recipes that introduce a splash of new taste to an old friend.

This Bistro Burger recipe tastes just like a great steakhouse burger. Made with Wagyu Kobe beef, it’s mixed with Dijon mustard and some other tasty surprises.

Or, try a Caprese Burger for something totally different. Melted mozzarella cheese and basil pesto? Heck yeah!

Finally, a Stuffed KC Steak House Burger is pure magic. Burgers stuffed with blue cheese, garlic and mushrooms then basted with steak sauce … just the thought makes my mouth water!

Have fun with these and other steakburger recipes in the upcoming weeks!
