Fourth of July Menu

Everyone has their favorite menus for entertaining. This is my favorite Fourth of July menu. It's classic, delicious, and quick and easy too.

For the best and juiciest hamburgers in town, read Tips for Making the Best Burgers before you start.

And have fun decorating! Hang bunting on your porch, fly at least two flags, set your table in red, white, and blue, and enjoy America's birthday.

My Favorite Fourth of July Menu

  • All American Burgers
    The seasoning in this recipe is simply perfect. Toast the buns on the grill very briefly to add some crispness; onion buns are my choice. I like to top my burgers with American cheese, a slice of juicy ripe tomato, some crisp lettuce, mustard, and ketchup. I can taste it now!
  • In a Hurry Potato Salad
    Well, there's nothing like My Mother's Potato Salad, but when you're pressed for time, this is an excellent choice. You could add radishes and hard cooked eggs to this recipe too.
  • Best Berry Salad
    The best berries of the season combine in a gorgeous, colorful, and flavorful salad that everyone will love.
  • Potato chips! Every summer holiday meal should have potato chips. No exceptions.
  • Brownie Flag
    What could be better than a fudgy, moist brownie? A fudgy, moist brownie decorated to look like an American flag! Let the kids frost and decorate the brownie; they'll love it!
