Posted by: Jeff Owens 1 month ago

Fourth of July grilling is about keeping it simple, which is why the best recipes rely on quality ingredients and big, natural flavor to impress guests. The sizzle of the grill, the sear marks on the hot dogs, and the joy of bringing family and friends together make July Fourth one of the best holidays of the year. 

We collected a few easy Fourth of July recipes to help make your get-together a success! 

Fourth of July Burger Recipes

There’s nothing like a big, juicy burger hot off the grill. You already know the basics of grilling burgers: quality meat, even heat, and a warm bun. We recommend sourcing your burgers from Oryana, Burritt’s, or another local meat counter for the ultimate flavor. 

Cowboy Burger

Saddle up. This classic combines barbecue sauce, onion rings, bacon, and plenty of cheese for a delicious meal that your guests won’t soon forget! On this one, the sauce is key. Because the onion rings offer a touch of sweetness from being slightly caramelized, opt for Baby Ray’s or a sugar-free sauce. It helps to keep that smoky flavor you’re looking for!

Breakfast Burgers

Breakfast is a state of mind, not a time of day. These breakfast burgers are a bit like cheating; the fried egg adds a visual pop, and all it takes is, well, frying an egg. We’ve also seen these called “Skillet Burgers” because nearly every item hits the griddle at some point, even the buns.
