1. Wholesome Summer Burger
Though we refer our first recipe as a “summer burger,” it’s a crisp, fresh, and filling choice for any season. If you want to show off your skills, use a mandoline to slice the cucumbers into pretty curls. And, if you like our idea below of dressing your burger with a creamy dill sauce, try this recipe from EatingWell.

- 2 heirloom tomatoes, sliced
- 1 cucumber, sliced (or sliced on a mandoline across the long sides of the cucumber)
- Alfalfa sprouts
Directions
Grill your Grass Run Farms patties and assemble the burgers. Our suggested ingredient order is bottom bun, lettuce, burger, tomato, cucumber, sprouts, and top bun.
2. Roasted Pepper and Goat Cheese Burger
We can’t think of anything better than salty-sweet goat cheese being warmed by a freshly-cooked burger patty. When you top these warm ingredients with refreshing, crunchy red pepper and piquant red onion, this burger becomes a true treat for your family’s taste buds.

- 32 oz (2 packages) Grass Run Farms 100% Grass Fed Ground Beef (80% Lean 20% Fat)

Assemble all ingredients (our suggested order is bun, lettuce, burger, goat cheese, red pepper, onion, and top bun). If you’d like, add your favorite burger dressing before the top bun (we love red pepper or chipotle aioli!) Enjoy!
