Sliders
Summer's a perfect time to enjoy a hamburger on the grill. Combine that with Father's Day and we decided to have our first annual Father's Day Slider Cook-off. While the girls share my enthusiasm for cooking and good food, my son-in-laws are great cooks in their own right, and the idea of a slider cook-off sparked their enthusiasm and creativity. A lot of thought went into their recipes as I observed the variety of ingredients and toppings, some delicious BBQ was sure to be had. Mickey and Natalie created a "Cuban Slider" with caribbean jerk spiced pork, ham and swiss cheese, while John and Alli created a "BBQ Slider" with goat cheese, banana peppers and BBQ sauce. Dave and I went back to our roots to create a "Philly Slider" with peppers, onions and provolone. All were delicious and filling, which called for some Kube action out on the lawn following the BBQ. I'd say we need to do this again, so fun.
