Best Burger & Dog Recipes for a Baseball Game

It's no secret that we love our burgers and we love our sports. As an official sponsor of NASCAR's ISC Racetracks and Yankee Stadium, we are proud to serve up bold, robust, quality beef burgers for spectators around the track or in the stadium. But with 162 baseball games a year and 38 NASCAR races, it's likely that at lease a few of those events will be hosted at home.

So, when game day has you beckoning for a taste of the ball game, our burgers and dogs are only a trip to the store away, and these game day recipes bring a bit of the taste of stadium to your dinner table.

The "Babe" Burger

Ingredients:

1 package of Steakhouse Elite Kobe-Crafted beef burgers
6-10 mushrooms
1TBSP butter
Salt (to taste)
1 yellow onion, sliced into rings
4 slices Swiss cheese
Dijon mustard
4 sesame seed buns
Baby cornichons (pickles)

In a saute pan over medium to high heat, saute onions until caramelized and slightly crispy on the edges. Remove onions from pan and set aside. In the same pan, add mushrooms, butter and salt and cook over medium high for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Cook your burgers on the grill to desired doneness. Just before removing from the grill, add Swiss cheese to the patties until slightly melted. Place cooked patties on a bun slathered with Dijon mustard. Top with onions, mushrooms and baby cornichons. Add onion rings for a perfect side.

"Dimaggio" Dogs

Ingredients:

1 package of Steakhouse Elite 100% all beef hot dogs
1 sweet yellow onion, cut into rings
4 slices of bacon, chopped
1 fresh jalapeno, cut into coins
6 bakery-style hoagie rolls
Ketchup and Mayo

In a saute pan, heat to medium-high. Add bacon and saute until cooked to about rare. Continue cooking but add onions to the pan. Coat onions with bacon mixture until caramelized and bacon is fully cooked. Drain onion/bacon mix on a paper towel or paper plate.

Cook hot dogs on grill. Generously spread mayo onto hoagie roll and add grilled hot dog. Top with bacon/onion mix and four jalapeno rings. Add ketchup and other toppings if desired.

Whether you are at the stadium or near your own grill, there's always a #reasontoburger and a way to get the big league taste of Steakhouse Elite burgers and dogs.
