Tasty Tuesday: Independence Day Burgers

The Fourth of July is all about celebrating America and the freedom we found from an oppressive government in 1776. 

It's no secret that a favorite American pastime is eating, and that along with its summertime calendar date is what makes Independence Day weekend one of the biggest grilling weekends of the year! 

This Fourth of July holiday, we at the ACA encourage all to celebrate America with an all-American meal! Grilling up some beef is the perfect way to do just that. We recommend combining two Independence Day classics for your celebration meal- barbecue and burgers! This Zesty BBQ Cheeseburger recipe will have you and your family fired up for fireworks and America, so gather 'round the picnic table with your family and serve up some beef. All you'll need is some fresh sides, a tall glass of sweet tea and a big appetite. 

Keep in mind that ground beef needs to either be frozen or stored at a temperature below 40 degrees Fahrenheit until its time to prepare it in order to meet food safety standards. It's also important during grilling to ensure that the meat is cooked thoroughly. Ground beef is safe to eat when a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit at the center of the burger.

Enjoy and Happy Fourth of July!
