Fourth of July Main Dishes: All-American Burger

In the coming weeks backyard grills will be sizzling with the sounds and aromas of juicy burgers. What better way to kick off your Fourth of July meal than with an All-American Burger.

Starting today and all through next week, we will be sharing recipes to make your Fourth of July Menu sparkle! We are kicking it off with the Main Dishes and this All-American Burger that is sure to please the crowd!

There are endless burgers toppings, but for the All-American Burger we used white cheddar cheese, tomato slice and blue potato chips. When we were discussing which Burger to share for our Fourth of July Menu, we pulled out Bobby Flay’s cookbook, Burgers, Fries and Shakes. Our first thought was to make an Indiana Burger, much like Bobby’s California Burger, but then we spotted his signature Crunchburger with potato chips, and thought it would make a perfect All-American Burger.

The burger itself is pretty basic, seasoned with Red Robin Seasoning and grilled to perfection. And we like a nice soft bun, these are Aunt Millie’s Deli Style.
