Welcome to a week of Honoring Dad

Give your dad a break from grill duty and make a burger he’ll never forget!

Dude Ranch Burgers

Prep time: 20 minutes
Yields:  5 8oz. burgers

2 lbs. lean ground beef
2 Tbl. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 lb. Andouille sausage, small diced
1/2 c yellow onion, grated
2 Tbl. garlic, minced
2 Tbl. parsley, chopped
1/2 c white cheddar, small diced
1 pablano chile, seeded & fine diced

Mix all ingredients together making sure not to overwork the ground beef.  For best flavor, do this a day ahead of time and store in a zip-top bag overnight.  Form patties.  Grill to desired temperature and serve on buns with your favorite toppings.

We couldn’t let National Burger Month end without giving you a few of our favorite tips on making the best burger.

*When adding your seasoning, don’t overwork your ground meat.  This makes for a tough finished product.

*Poke a hole in the center of formed patties to keep them from shrinking and loosing moisture while cooking.

*Rest your burger patties on a wire rack.  If you stack them on top of each other, the bottom patties will continue cooking.
