Chicken Burgers

Boating, Grilling & Other Fun Summer Stuff   by Kelley

You are planning a big party at your house or cottage. You are excited to have everyone over. You want to do some boating, outdoor game playing, good old conversation and cooking out. Surely you want to have foods that are simple to grill so you can have more time to visit your guests.

The first thing you need to do is plan out your menu. You can buy pre-made salmon patties to cook on the grill. If you are having children at your cook out party you may want to buy a few packs of hot dogs. It is a great idea to buy extra hot dogs for adults that do not like any type of fish which includes salmon.

Make sure you have all of the fixings for the salmon patties and hot dogs. Make a list that you will need ketchup, mustard, hamburger buns, hot dog buns, relish, sliced onion and pickles.

Salmon patties and hot dogs are quick and easy when you grill these meats.

A grilled side dish includes a bean dish. You may make this dish ahead of time and toss it on the grill an hour before you are ready to serve your guests their meal.

Baked Bean Quintet

What you will need:
1 large onion, chopped
6 slices of bacon, cut up
1 garlic clove, minced
1-16 ounce can of lima beans, drained
1-16 ounce can of pork and beans with tomato sauce
1-15 ½ ounce red kidney beans, drained
1-15 ounce can of butter beans, drained
1-15 ounce can of garbanzo beans, drained
¾ cup of ketchup
½ cup of molasses
¼ cup of brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon of mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Nonstick cooking oil spray

To prepare recipe:
Fire up your gas grill to 375 degrees. While your grill is preheating you can sauté the onion, bacon and garlic. Cook until the bacon is crisp and the onion is nice and tender. Drain. Spray a large tinfoil pan that is safe for the grill. In the tinfoil pan combine the sauted mixture along with all of the rest of the ingredients. Cover the top of the tinfoil pan with a sheet of tinfoil. Place pan on grill for one hour. This recipe will make enough beans for 12 to 16 people. Adjust recipe for more guests if needed.

Add cut up fruit, vegetables and ranch dip, Jell-O and potato chips for other simple side dishes.

You can make a banana pudding dessert ahead of time for your guests. Simply make enough banana pudding following directions on the package and according to the size of your guests. Buy individual plastic punch glasses. Pour the pudding inside of the plastic punch glasses. Top each pudding with a dollop of whip cream. Cut up enough bananas to add about three slices to each individual cup. Before placing banana slices on the pudding soak for a few minutes in lemon juice so the banana does not brown before serving. If you have Hershey’s chocolate or another brand drizzle lightly on top of the whip cream and bananas. Delicious, elegant and easy!

Enjoy the rest of the time visiting your guests, swimming and boating.
