From burgers and smoked tacos to snack boards and party appetizers, here's how we're using this month's box.
Here's what's inside the June Box

Burger Bar with Homemade Sauces

Use: Ground Beef or Brisket Patties
Nothing says summer like a backyard burger bar.
Form patties and grill to your preferred doneness, then set out toppings and sauces so everyone can build their own burger. Below are some great homemade sauce recipes, or here is a link to our favorite store bought sauce.Â
Canyon Sauce:
- ½ cup mayo
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp pickle juice
- 1 tbsp relish
- ½ tsp garlic powder
BBQ Ranch Sauce:
- ½ cup ranch
- 2 tbsp barbecue sauce
- Dash of smoked paprika
Jalapeno Burger Sauce:
- ½ cup mayo
- 1 diced jalapeño
- Juice of ½ lime
- Pinch of garlic powder
Set out lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, bacon, cheese, and avocado for a fun DIY burger night.
Smoked Beef Roast Tacos
Use: Beef Roast
This one takes a bit more time, but it's so worth it in the end! Instead of cooking your roast in the crockpot this summer, throw it on the smoker for a delicious change! We season the thawed roast with salt and garlic powder, wrap in foil, then put on the smoker at 200 degrees for 6-8 hours. When it's done, it will be tender, smoky, and falling apart.
There is a more detailed and seasoned recipe specifically for tacos from With the Woodruffs here.Â
Bacon Burger Skewers

Use: Ground Beef & Beef Bacon Ends
A fun cookout appetizer everyone will talk about.
How to Make:
Season ground beef with garlic powder, salt, and pepper and roll into balls. Brill or bake until cooked through.
Thread onto skewers with:
- Cherry tomatoes
- Pickle slices
- Cubes of cheddar
- Crispy beef bacon pieces
Serve with burger sauce for dipping.
They're essentially burgers on a stick—and they're always the first thing to disappear.
German Sausage and Veggie Foil Packs

Use: Beef German Sausage
Perfect for camping, grilling, or easy cleanup dinners.
Slice sausage and combine with:
- Potatoes
- Bell peppers
- Green Beans
- Zucchini
- Onions
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Seal in foil packets and grill for 20-25 minutes.
*To avoid foil, you can also make this on a sheet pan or baking pan in the oven for delicious results.Â
Simple, flavorful, and family-friendly.
Summer Sausage Party Board

Use: Summer Sausage
Every summer gathering needs a snack board.
Arrange sliced summer sausage with:
- Cheese slices
- Crackers
- Grapes
- Strawberries
- Pickles
- Honey mustard
- Mixed nuts
This works beautifully for Father's Day, pool parties, and casual get-togethers.
Brisket Patty Smash Tacos

Use: Brisket Patties
One of the easiest viral recipes worth trying.
Press small portions of brisket patty directly onto tortillas. Season with salt and garlic powder. Place meat-side down onto a hot griddle or skillet until crispy.
Flip, add cheese, and allow meat to cook throughout. Top with:
- Shredded lettuce
- Pickles
- Your favorite burger toppings
The result is part taco, part smash burger, and completely delicious.
Beef Bacon Loaded Potato Salad

Use: Beef Bacon Ends
Chop beef bacon ends into small pieces and saute in skillet until cooked. Add to the following ingredients for a refreshing summer salad that everyone will love!
Give classic potato salad a smoky upgrade.
Mix:
- Cooked potatoes
- Crispy beef bacon ends
- Green onions
- Cheddar cheese
- Sour cream
- Mayo
- Dijon mustard
Serve chilled alongside burgers and grilled meats.
