Zesty Cheeseburger Meal
FIRE UP the grill! My most popular casual summer meal means burgers will be sizzling and served with side dishes that provide a combination of great flavors.
Our family and friends, young and old alike, anticipate my meal of Provolone Burgers, Greek Macaroni Salad, Fried Dill Pickle Coins and Lemonade Icebox Pie.
Whether they're prepared on the patio, at a picnic, at the lake or at the campground, Provolone Burgers get an overwhelming thumbs-up from everyone who tastes them. Neither my son, Ricky—who is 16 and always hungry—nor his dad, Rick, ever tires of these burgers.
Garlic, onion, basil and oregano give a savory spark to the beef patties. A slice of provolone cheese makes the perfect topping for these well-seasoned burgers...and it's a nice change from the usual cheddar or American. Of course, you can substitute whatever cheese you like best.
When daughter Heather, 26, comes over for this meal, she usually goes back for seconds of Greek Macaroni Salad. I've had many compliments on the combination of ingredients and the salad's pleasant oil-and-lemon dressing.
