Summer Holiday Grilled Burger Menu

Summer Holiday Grilled Burger Menu

Linda Larsen
Celebrate July 4th or any summer holiday with this easy and delicious menu. Hamburgers are de rigueur for most summer cookouts, and this recipe is a winner. Ground beef is stuffed with a mixture of cheeses that melt into the meat, and the burgers are topped with sliced avocado.

Potatoes on the grill are always a good idea, and these hash brown potatoes couldn't be easier. Served with a simple and flavorful melon salad and some delicious bar cookies for dessert, your friends and family will love this menu.

Grilled Stuffed Burgers Menu

  • Cheese Stuffed Burgers
    You can use any of your favorite cheeses, or just one, in this simple recipe. Because the meat has to hold in the melted cheese, there are no other ingredients added. Don't press down on the burgers as they cook so the juices stay in the meat.
  • Grilled Hash Brown Potatoes
    You can certainly shred your own potatoes for this recipe, but the refrigerated pre shredded potatoes are excellent quality. Omit the cheese if you like; I think it adds great flavor.
  • Melon Salad
    Tender, juicy and sweet melons, in a sweet and tart dressing scented with mint, is the perfect accompaniment to this menu.
  • Butter Pecan Turtle Cookies
    These bars, with a tender, buttery crust, homemade caramel, pecans and milk chocolate, are the perfect end to a summer meal.
