I’m all for quick and easy when it comes to dinnertime and with a couple of extra teenage boys in the house at the moment serve-yourself bars are the easiest way to feed them.

I like to keep things fairly simple with my food bars, but still give quite a few options, especially for picky eaters.  For example my little man loves wheat bread, but baby girl is going through a white bread only phase.  One of the teenagers can’t eat cheddar cheese so I wanted a few extra options for cheese he could eat, and I’m a lover of sweet potato fries, but am definitely in the minority being surrounded by lovers of regular potato fries.

Burgers:

• We grilled pre-made burgers, seasoning them with McCormick’s beforehand.
• If you will be entertaining visitors who are vegetarian, don’t forget to put out vegetarian burgers too.

Toppings:

• Lettuce
• Tomato
• Grilled bacon
• Grilled onion
• Sargento® Medium Cheddar Cheese
• Sargento® Ultra-Thin Colby Jack Cheese
• Sargento® Pepper Jack Cheese
• Mushrooms (that were cooked in a little butter on the stove)
• Ketchup and Mustard
• Other items you may want to include: coleslaw, pickles, pineapple, and barbecue sauce

Other items:

• Whole wheat burger buns
• White burger buns
• Sweet potato and regular potato fries

Don’t forget to vote for Crazee Burger in the Sargento® Cheese ‘America’s Ultimate Cheeseburger Contest’.  We ate there for dinner tonight and they really do make a good burger, and parmesan fries too.  Don’t forget to grab a copy of all the recipes submitted once you are done voting, and upload a photo of your ultimate cheeseburger too.   Come back and let me know if you submitted a photograph.
