The grilled beef patties and the cool slaw made of red cabbage and apple slices cut into thin strips go well together in these Tangy Apple Slaw Burgers. The tangy slaw dressing gives these burgers a big flavor boost. They're great for a summer BBQ.

Ingredients: 1.5 lbs ground beef. Salt and pepper to taste. 4 hamburger buns. 1 cup shredded red cabbage. 1 large apple, julienned. 1/2 cup mayonnaise. 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard. 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. 1 tablespoon honey. 1/2 teaspoon celery seed.

Instructions: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Season with salt and pepper. Grill the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. In a large bowl, combine shredded red cabbage and julienned apple. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, and celery seed to make the slaw dressing. Pour the slaw dressing over the cabbage and apple mixture, tossing to coat evenly. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned. Assemble the burgers by placing a grilled patty on the bottom half of each bun and topping it with a generous amount of tangy apple slaw. Cap off the burgers with the other half of the buns and serve immediately.

This grilled cheese sandwich combines the savory goodness of pulled pork with the sweet crunch of apple slices, all melted together with gooey cheddar cheese between two slices of buttery bread.

Ingredients: 2 cups pulled pork. 1 apple, thinly sliced. 8 slices of bread. 8 slices of cheddar cheese. Butter for spreading.

Instructions: Set a griddle or skillet over medium heat to warm it up. Each piece of bread should have one side brushed with butter. Put a piece of bread on the pan with the butter side down. Put down one slice of cheddar cheese, then chop up some apple and pull pork. Top with another slice of cheddar cheese. Put another piece of bread on top, butter side up. One side should be golden brown, then flip it over and cook until the cheese melts and the other side is golden brown. Do it again with the rest of the ingredients to make more sandwiches. On a diagonal, cut the sandwiches and serve them hot.
