Freddy’s Variations on 3 Popular Summer Cookout Recipes
With so many different things to grill, not to mention the many other cookout-friendly preparations, trying new summer cookout recipes and making the usual favorites is part of the fun of this season. The menu at Freddy’s reflects a similar approach. Below, learn more about our variations on three popular summer cookout choices that may inspire your own menu plans or help you determine where to order dinner near you tonight!
BBQ Brisket: Doing low and slow cooks like BBQ brisket can make summer cookouts into truly special occasions. As with the dishes in this list of summer cookout recipes shared at the Food Network, it’s also a great choice for a sizable crowd and an impressive one, as it takes time and care to prepare. At Freddy’s, one of our limited-time only, summer menu selections is the BBQ Brisket Steakburger. Available on its own or as part of a combo meal, this steakburger features sliced brisket that’s been pit smoked for 16 hours, which is layered on top of two steakburger patties, complemented with American cheese, pickle, onion, and smoky BBQ sauce, and served in a Kings Hawaiian bun.
Gourmet Burgers: Schedules during the summer are often a little more relaxed than they are during other times of year. Therefore, it may be the perfect time to try making gourmet burgers, as they can require a little more time and care than other preparations. Whether making homemade burgers inside or outside, there are many different ways to create flavorful and even unique burgers. Aside from choosing the best ground beef for burgers, you might explore different types of buns and spreads for your homemade burgers like the Texas toast and savory tomato spread in our Grilled Cheese Steakburger. Another option is to try out seasonal or specialty toppings like the thin-sliced prime rib on the Prime Rib Steakurger.
Strawberry Shortcake: From peach custard and key lime creations and strawberry desserts to cookie sandwiches and shakes, seasonal fruit and frozen custard or ice cream are often served to satisfy sweet tooths during the summer. While strawberry shortcake typically incorporates this juicy red fruit and a cold creamy component, Freddy’s combines strawberry puree with fresh and creamy vanilla frozen custard as well as cheesecake pieces and cinnamon streusel to make the Strawberry Dreamcake – one of many summer-friendly treats.
