Cuban-style Steaks in Garlic-Lime Marinade by John Spottiswood

These steaks are a treat and a great way to make an inexpensive cut of meat memorable. You can use bottom round (best), top round, or a thin cut sirloin for this dish. The steaks should be cut about a 1/2 thick. Mine were a little thicker, so I pounded them with a mallet to thin them. In Cuban restaurants, this recipe is called…

Potluck Cheeseburger Mac by Patti Fisher

We were invited to a potluck at our community center and asked what we should bring. The resounding vote was: meat! Spending the afternoon with our friends and neighbors is always fun and we wanted to do something everyone would love. We mixed lots of super lean, top quality ground beef with sharp cheddar cheese and elbow macaroni.…

Amazing Grilled Steakhouse Steak Tips by Foodiewife

Have you ever heard of steak tips before? Well, neither had I,until I spotted this recipe on Cook's Country. Typically, steak tips come from the bottom sirloin, and that is where flap meat comes from. Bottom line, this is one of the best (truly) grilled steak recipes I've ever made or tasted! The marinade is packed full of flavor,…

Double-Cheese Sliders by Dexie Jane Wharton

Hawaiian Roll Sliders by Beth Roan

Another quick and easy lunch option for our lunch "restaurant". These are one of our favorite quick meals. I usually end up just throwing them on the George Forman grill to make it even easier.

Asian-inspired Mini-Meatballs by Amos Miller

A perfect appetizer, great hot or cold, and can be easily made the day before the party in a large crock pot. All you’ll need is toothpicks and tiny plates! I’ve built upon an interesting recipe I found for meatballs with a teriyaki sauce and the inclusion of, yes, dried cranberries. This was so tasty when I first made my…

Southwestern Beer Can Burgers by Patti Fisher

We have been seeing folks post their beer can burgers for the last few weeks, all of them looking good. We wanted to take it to the next level by adding a “Southwestern” twist to it. We started with the very best ground beef: Fresh ground sirloin and blending that with some beef chorizo for 1 pound burgers with a nice blend of…

California Santa Maria Style Barbeque Tri-Tip by Foodiewife

We live about 3 hours north of Santa Maria, California. One day, we saw a BBQ trailer that was selling a tri-tip dinner plate, so we stopped to enjoy a roadside lunch. It was the tastiest tri-tip we've ever had! I found this recipe in Cook's Country Magazine, and it is our favorite way to enjoy tri-tip. I also made the Santa Maria…

Stufz Bastille Burger by Ken & Patti Fisher

Filled with Cabernet, sweet onions, garlic, mushrooms and blue cheese! Last week Dave Hanson from “Stufz Ultimate Burger” sent us one of his burger stuffers. Which we thought was really cool because I had been looking at this very same unit for a few weeks now. I gave Dave a call and we talked about his stuffer and some of his…

Spicy Sweet & Sour Meatballs by Shawna Hill

An old pot luck favorite, the sweet and sour meatball filled crock. I have given the old recipe a bit of spice and a lot of flavor. This went over very well with the entire family for dinner served over white rice.

Lotta Cheese Cheese Burger by Patti Fisher

We got a complaint from some friends that when they go out for burgers the meat is paper thin and the cheese, if you can find any, is tasteless. We had no choice but to say “See you tomorrow, come hungry!” Everyone was happily stuffed and knew they were eating a cheese burger. They may be back again tomorrow. Not only was there 2…

London Broil Marinade by Miri

This is my go to recipe when ever I make London broil. This recipe is also very versatile--it can be broiled, grilled, or roasted.

Gourmet Burger by Wesley Key

This burger recipe doesn't stray too far from the classic burger but the fresh herbs just give it that little bit extra when you want something a bit more special.
