Our Fourth of July party menu is as all-American as you can get: burgers, corn, potato salad, coleslaw, and pie.
But in true Sunset style, we’ve given just about everything a little twist: The corn is cooked on the grill. So is the potato salad. Coleslaw is made with Napa cabbage and dressed with a deliciously creamy soy sauce.
For dessert, we give cherry-blueberry pie a patriotic topper. It’s a star-spangled menu with all the fixings.
The Menu
The Classic Burger
Sink your teeth into a delicious restaurant-style hamburger recipe made from lean beef. Skip the prepackaged patties and take the extra time to craft up your own, and that little extra effort will be worth it.
To make cheeseburgers, about 1 minute before burgers are done, top with sliced cheese; continue cooking until cheese begins to melt.
This recipe works equally well on both gas and charcoal grills. For more great grilling tools, including the always excellent Lodge cast iron skillet, check out this roundup of Sunset favorites.
Honey-Chipotle Grilled Corn
“Once you’ve tried this recipe, you’ll never go back to plain corn on the cob,” writes reader Trisha Kruse.
