2. Select the perfect cuts of meat. Don’t forget to apply the seasonings or marinate the meat ahead of time before grilling them. It’s also a good idea to offer a variety of meats to guests, such as chicken, steak, burgers, kabobs, or hot dogs. In our house, we love to make Mushroom and Swiss Stuffed Burgers on the grill.
Mushroom and Swiss Stuffed Burgers
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups finely sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 6 hamburger rolls
Instructions
-
Heat butter in nonstick skillet over medium heat.
-
Add mushrooms and onion; cook and stir 4 minutes or until mushrooms have softened. Cool completely.
-
Mix ground beef.
-
Measure twelve (1/4 cup) portions of beef. Shape into thin 4-inch round patties.
-
Place about 1 tablespoon each of the mushroom mixture and cheese in center of each of 6 patties.
-
Top with remaining hamburger patties, pinching edges to seal filling. If necessary, lightly flatten with spatula.
-
Grill over medium heat 4 to 6 minutes per side or until burgers are cooked through.
-
Serve burgers on rolls with lettuce, tomato, onion and ketchup.
-
Enjoy!
3. Pick a few side dishes. You want to pair the perfect meat with some great tasting sides. Since this day is all about dad, make his favorite side dish and a few others to serve as a variety for everyone celebrating the special holiday.
4. Don’t forget about dessert! Get creative and offer dad some delicious burger cupcakes! It is after all a cookout!
5. Keep everyone entertained while you’re grilling! Plan some fun games or activities for everyone to enjoy while they are waiting to eat. Fun games centered around dad are a great way to celebrate Father’s Day. Games like “Who Knows Dad Best” would be a fun game to play with the whole family. Type up some questions about dad and print them out for everyone to fill out the answers. Whoever gets the most questions correct wins a prize. You can also hold a “Dad Roast.” How fun would it be to give dad a good chuckle as you roast him!
