Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup canned sliced mushrooms
  • 6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 6 hamburger buns, split
  • Lettuce leaves and tomato slices, optional

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the beef, onion, garlic salt and pepper. Shape into 6 patties, 3/4 in. thick.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the cheese, mushrooms, bacon and mayonnaise; chill.
  3. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160°, 5-7 minutes on each side. During the last 3 minutes, spoon 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture onto each burger. Serve on buns, with lettuce and tomato if desired.

Test Kitchen Tips
  • Using lean ground beef instead of beef that’s 80% lean saves 45 calories per 4-ounce serving of beef. Lean ground beef is also 29% lower in saturated fat.
  • Sharp cheddar cheese has been aged longer than regular cheddar. As cheese ages, its flavor becomes more pronounced. Using aged cheese in a recipe can add complexity and rich flavor, even to humble favorites like mac ’n’ cheese.

    Ingredients

    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 2 teaspoons butter
    • 1 cup ketchup
    • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup chili sauce
    • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 tablespoon celery seed
    • 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 2 dashes hot pepper sauce
    • 2 broiler/fryer chickens (3-1/2 to 4 pounds each), cut up

    Directions

    1. In a large saucepan, saute garlic in butter until tender. Add the next 8 ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; set aside.
    2. On a lightly greased grill rack, grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 30 minutes, turning occasionally. Baste with sauce. Grill 15 minutes longer or until a thermometer reaches 170°, basting and turning several times.

    Test Kitchen Tips
  • This sauce is best when made a day or two in advance, giving the flavors time to come together.
  • If you don't have chili sauce on hand, you can use 1/4 cup extra ketchup or 1/4 cup cocktail sauce.
  • Try this cool-guy move if you don't have a basting brush: Tie a few sprigs of rosemary or another hearty herb together with twine, then baste with it.

    Blueberry-Cinnamon Campfire Bread

    This has to be one of the best camping recipes and most delicious camping breakfast ideas. Layer slices of cinnamon bread onto a large sheet of aluminum foil. Then add in nuts, blueberries and an egg mix. All that’s left is to wrap it all up and let it cook over the fire. The end result is so warm and comforting. It’s worth leaving your cozy sleeping bag for!

    To keep the eggs from sticking, make sure you add a good pat of butter to the pan.

    Chicken and Zucchini Foil Packs https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/chicken-and-zucchini-foil-packs/ Thu, 28 Jul 2022 16:15:28 +0000 https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/chicken-and-zucchini-foil-packs/

    Ingredients

    • 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • 4 large fresh button mushrooms, thinly sliced
    • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
    • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
    • 1 cup chicken broth or stock
    • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 ounces each)
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
    • 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced

    Directions

    1. Prepare grill for medium heat or preheat oven to 450°. In a large skillet, cook onion in oil over medium-high heat until crisp-tender, 4-5 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, basil and oregano; cook until tomato paste starts to caramelize, 6-8 minutes. Stir in broth, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Bring to a boil; cook until sauce has thickened, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
    2. Cut each chicken breast into 3 long strips. Divide chicken strips between two 18x12-in. pieces of heavy-duty nonstick foil, placing food on dull side of foil; sprinkle with salt and pepper and top with zucchini. Spoon tomato mixture over zucchini. Fold foil around mixture, sealing tightly.
    3. Place packets on grill or in oven; cook until chicken is no longer pink, 15-20 minutes, turning once. Open packets carefully to allow steam to escape. If desired, top with additional basil.

    Ingredients

    • 2 beef top sirloin steaks (1-1/2 pounds each)
    • 3 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
    • 1 medium onion, chopped
    • 4 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
    • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
    • 2 teaspoons salt
    • 1 teaspoon pepper

    Directions

    1. Prepare grill for medium heat or preheat oven to 450°. Cut each steak into 4 pieces. In a large bowl, combine steak, potatoes, onion, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper.
    2. Divide mixture among eight 18x12-in. pieces of heavy-duty foil, placing food on dull side of foil. Fold foil around potato mixture, sealing tightly.

    Steak and Potato Foil Packs Tips

    Can you bake steak and potato foil packs in the oven?

    Absolutely! If it’s a rainy day, or you simply don’t want to fire up the grill, you can opt for the oven. Bake the steak and potato foil packs in a 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes.

    Can you cook the steak medium-rare in the foil packs?

    Although it’s harder to monitor the steak as it cooks because it’s wrapped up in foil, you can still cook it medium-rare when you’re making this steak and potato foil pack recipe. Cut the steaks in half and prepare them in 4 foil packs instead of 8. The bigger pieces will result in meat that's more rare.

    Hawaiian Macaroni Salad Tips

    What makes Hawaiian macaroni salad Hawaiian?

    You may be surprised to learn that traditional Hawaiian macaroni salad typically doesn’t include ham, pineapple or other tropical ingredients commonly associated with Hawaii. It’s a simple, no frills side dish consisting of cooked elbow macaroni and shredded carrots, swirled with a generous amount of mayonnaise—the real stuff—which gives the salad its signature creaminess and flavor. Authentic versions favor Best Foods (or Hellmann’s) brand of mayonnaise.

    The origins of macaroni salad in Hawaii are said to date back to the early 1900s when European hotel chefs and plantation owners introduced potato salad to the islands. Unfortunately, potatoes perished quickly in the humid climate, and spuds were later swapped for a cheaper, non-perishable ingredient: dry elbow pasta. It was around this time that Hawaiian mac salad became a staple side dish in migrant plantation workers’ metal lunch boxes, which also included salty meats and white rice. By the 1930s, waterfront and roadside vendors started selling Hawaiian mac salad, giving it a permanent place in Hawaiian cuisine.

    Today, locals enjoy Hawaiian macaroni salad as a key dish in classic lunch plates sold at diners and food trucks. It’s also a popular menu item at barbecues, luaus and potlucks.

    Do you heat up Hawaiian macaroni salad?

    No! Hawaiian macaroni salad is a cool, creamy side dish that should be served chilled.

    What else can you add to Hawaiian macaroni salad?

    This cold pasta salad typically features a simple flavor profile, as it's intended to neutralize the more salty and robust flavors in other Hawaiian foods that often accompany it. But, if you want to amp up the flavor or heartiness, consider adding chopped ham, bacon or canned tuna.

    When it comes to produce, small broccoli florets, diced cucumber, red pepper, sliced black olives, minced celery, fresh pineapple and scallions would all be great options to add to Hawaiian macaroni salad. Finally, a dash of paprika and turmeric will add a little zip.

    What do you serve with Hawaiian macaroni salad?

    At a food truck or roadside stand in Hawaii, you’ll get a classic plate with a meaty entree like Kalua pork and a few scoops of white rice. The salad is simple, creamy and cool, and will balance nicely with dishes that have some kick. You can go with a Hawaiian-style main dish such as Huli Huli chicken or any number of classic spicy barbecue recipes.

    How do you store homemade macaroni salad?

    Store homemade macaroni salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. If your salad is looking a little dry after a couple of days, you can revive it by stirring in some warm water, or a tablespoon or two of mayonnaise thinned with a little bit of milk.

    For any coffee drinker, a travel thermos is practically an essential. And while there are tons of options out there now—these are our favorite coffee thermos brands—the Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle is a workhorse that is as useful today as it was 100 years ago.

    Why We Love It

    As far as insulated bottles go, this one is high quality and lasts for years. Its double-walled vacuum insulation means it will keep liquids hot or cold for countless hours. It’s leak-proof, so you don’t have to worry about spills in the car, a backpack or your camping gear. And it’s even dishwasher safe, so cleaning is easy-peasy.

    It’s Loved By Generations

    According to one reviewer on Zappos, “I bought this solely because my father and grandfather used the same one as long as I could remember. I’ve used some other brands in the past but they don’t keep coffee hot as long and they never poor rite [sic].”

    Another reviewer had similar sentiments: “I love this bottle! My late father used one in 1980s while autumn steelhead fishing. Forty years later it is still working, keeping daybreak coffee hot until lunchtime!”

    My husband is also the proud owner of a Stanley thermos. He purchased one a few years out of college as a special gift to himself. He needed something that could transport his coffee on the way to work and keep it hot for a long time. He chose Stanley because it was the most iconic one out there, and he hasn’t regretted it since. “It works great. It does exactly what it needs to,” he says.

    It Really Works

    The company claims this insulated bottle can keep liquids hot for 40 hours. Being an engineer, my husband wanted to test this out. So one day last winter, he did a little experiment.

    He poured near-boiling water into it one evening, closed the cap and placed it out on the back porch for 24 hours. The temperature on that cold Wisconsin day never got above 0ºF. That evening, he uncapped it and was pleased to find it was still a whopping 115ºF—definitely hot enough for a cup of coffee!

    We Put It to the Test

    So if you’re looking for a new camping thermos or a gift for Father’s Day, you can’t go wrong with the Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle.
