If there is one thing that my family loves, it is the Fourth of July. It is so much fun to get together with family and friends and spend the day at the parades, parks, and fireworks. But it is also fun to be at home and have a delicious BBQ. This is one of our favorite traditions. Planning a Fourth of July BBQ can seem overwhelming, but doing it ahead of time and using online shopping/grocery delivery can help.
Because we were able to get our grocery shopping done and delivered, it left us with a lot more time to do things like clean up the house, meal prep and make decorations. We also prepared a fun DIY dessert for everyone to make when the meal was over – DIY Flag Sugar Cookies. These were a hit. I want to share our 4th of July BBQ with our bacon wrapped burgers with you as well as the Flag Sugar Cookies so you can have a great holiday party of your own.
The Bacon Wrapped Burgers were easy to make and tasted AMAZING! Take a strip of bacon, cut it lengthwise, and wrap it around the burger (see pictures). Once you have these ready, you will grill them until the burger is done and the bacon is crispy. Add cheese on top when they are done, and let it melt. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, etc for the best bacon-cheeseburger you have ever had!
The Flag Sugar Cookies were fun to make and tasted so good! All you need are sugar cookies, cream cheese frosting, strawberries (sliced into 8-10 pieces each), and blueberries. Frost the cookie with the frosting, add the strawberries for the red stripes (the frosting is the white stripes), and the blueberries are part of the stars. The kids loved making (and eating) these.
This looks delicious! I like the idea of the burgers wrapped in bacon. I wrap meatloaf in bacon and I think it adds flavor.
