On this Tailgating Tuesday post, I wanted to share some school recipes given to me by avid fans.

NC State

With many NC State fans in the family, I will have to pull for the Wolfpack.  3 neices and 2 nephews and a nephew in law (Mike) are State graduates.  Mike shared his family’s London Broil recipe.  His Aunt Angela gave the recipe to his mom and it became the Steak Night Dinner standard.  He and his brother took the left overs to school in sandwiches.

Kathy’s Comments:  It’s the Roses Lime Juice and ginger combination that makes this a winner!

  • 1  1/2  cups Less Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Roses’ Lime Juice
  • Garlic Powder

  • Generously apply Garlic Powder, Ginger Powder & Black Pepper to both sides of the meat and place in a gallon bag.

South Carolina fan, Theresa Johnston shared this “Palmetto” Cheeseburger recipe.  Any pimento cheese recipe will work, but Palmetto Cheese made in South Carolina “the Palmetto State” is perfect.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 8 tablespoons Palmetto Cheese (brand of Pimento Cheese found at Publix or Harris Teeter)
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • butter
  • salt
  • pepper
Optional:
  • iceberg lettuce
  • 4 small slices tomato

Instructions

  1. Form ground beef into 4 medium patties, then season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat canola oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook burgers, flipping once, until cooked to desired doneness.
  4. Place burgers on a plate and top each with about 2 tablespoons of Palmetto Cheese then cover with aluminum foil to let melt.
  5. Trim sourdough bread to the size of patties, spread butter on one side of each, and toast.
  6. Serve burgers on the toast, garnish with iceberg lettuce and tomato.

Notes

You can use your favorite pimento cheese, but I like the idea of Palmetto Cheese as in South Carolina, the Palmetto State. Also grilling both burgers and bread is a great idea when tailgating.

  • 1 (16-ounce) can pinto beans, undrained
  • 1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained
  • 1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 (16 ounce) cans white shoepeg corn, undrained
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 scoop pimento cheese (Palmetto Cheese brand is perfect for South Carolina fans)
  • 1 cup sliced black olives
  • Fritos BBQ Flavored Corn Chips

Instructions

  1. In a large soup pot, cook meat and onions together until meat is brown. Drain well.
  2. Add ranch dressing mix and taco seasoning mix to meat mixture, mixing well.
  3. Add remaining canned ingredients.
  4. Add water, Mix and simmer 2 hours or longer.
  5. Garnish each serving with a small handful corn chips, scoop of Palmetto Cheese, and sliced black olives.
