Cheeseburger Subs

Ingredients

  • 2 Bakery deli-style sub rolls
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons horseradish mustard
  • Aluminum foil
  • 1 ½ lb ground beef chuck
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ cup prepared Cheddar cheese sauce, divided
  • ½ cup prediced tomatoes, divided
  • ½ cup prediced red onions, divided
  • 2 cups lettuce shreds, divided

Prep

    • Preheat grill (or grill pan).
    • Slice bread in half lengthwise, leaving 1-inch uncut.

Steps

    1. Combine ketchup and mustard sauce; spread over inside of each sub roll. Place rolls on a sheet of foil; set aside.
    2. Form ground beef into four patties (wash hands). Season beef patties with salt and pepper. Place patties on grill (or in grill pan); grill 3–4 minutes on each side or until 160°F.
    3. Cut burgers in half and place inside sub rolls; top each with ¼ cup cheese sauce, ¼ cup tomatoes, and ¼ cup onions. Bring sides of foil up around roll and place over indirect heat on grill; grill (or bake in oven at 400°F) 6–7 minutes or until bread is toasted and cheese is hot. Add lettuce shreds, then cut each sub into 3 equal pieces; serve.
    Note: Cut subs into even smaller portions for an easy-to-manage appetizer.

Ice Cream Soda Sparklers

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons grenadine (or cherry-flavored syrup)
  • 48 oz ginger ale, chilled
  • 12 maraschino cherries
  • 6 (½-cup) scoops vanilla (or other flavor) ice cream

Prep

    • Chill (12–16 oz) soda glasses in freezer for 30 minutes.
    • Chill soda.

Steps

    1. Drizzle 1 tablespoon grenadine around inside rim of each glass. Slowly add ginger ale (leaving room for ice cream).
    2. Add 2 cherries to each, then add ice cream (the soda will foam underneath the ice cream). Serve.

Serving Suggestions

  • Complete your meal with French fries, corn on the cob, and cupcakes for dessert.
  • Try Birthday Cake-flavored ice cream for a festive, red, white, and blue dessert sparkler.
