Chipotle Ranch Burgers

OMG! Best burger ever! I can't get over how delicious these burgers were. They are packed full of flavor from the Ranch mix and chipotle peppers. Now, these burgers do pack a little kick. You can control the heat by increasing or decreasing the amount of pureed chipotles you put in the burgers and sauce. I used a tablespoon in the burger and about a teaspoon in the sauce. I thought it was perfect. I seriously can't stop thinking about how great these burgers were. I am already planning on making these again very soon!

Strawberries and Cream Cake

This cake is a great way to finish off your Memorial Day feast next weekend. This is a variation of other poke cakes on the blog. Like the others, this cake is easy to make and tastes great. It is best to make this cake at least a day before you want to serve it. It gets better the longer it sits in the refrigerator. It takes a lot of will power not to just dive into the cake, but trust me. It is worth the wait!

Cowboy Beans

No BBQ is complete without some baked beans.  These baked beans are one of the best we've ever made. I made these beans to go with our BBQ Ranch Pulled Pork. They were dynamite! They were sweet, smoky and tangy all at once. This is a great dish for a crowd. You can make them ahead of time and reheat them or even make them in the crockpot. I used bacon in the beans, but, feel free to throw in some of the BBQ Ranch Pulled Pork. It would be a great way to use up any leftover pork. You could make a meal out of these beans loaded with pork.

BBQ Ranch Pulled Pork {Slow Cooker}

This is the best pulled pork that I have ever made. I was super delicious! I loved the flavors. I ate leftovers for days and never got tired of it.

We don't have a fancy grill that we can control the temperature on, so I made this pork in the slow cooker. I thought it turned out great. I prepped the pork the night before and refrigerated it overnight. I threw the pork in the slow cooker first thing in the morning and it was ready by dinner. It was fall apart tender! The BBQ sauce is a must with this pork - it is my new favorite. This will definitely be on our Memorial Day menu - it should be on yours too!

BBQ Seasoning

Memorial Day is right around the corner. I am already testing out my menu. I decided to make my own BBQ Seasoning this year. I love to make my own seasonings because you can control the amount of salt and other ingredients. This is great sprinkled on chicken, pork or even burgers. It will keep for several months in an air-tight container. This BBQ seasoning is easy to make, and it makes a great hostess gift or takeaway gift for your guests at your Memorial Day BBQ.
