Ground Beef & Hot Dogs

Wagyu Ground Beef Mac & Cheese
The magic of this pasta dish lies in the use of sodium citrate, a culinary salt found easily online that acts as an emulsifier in the cheese sauce. Using sodium citrate means your cheese sauce doesn’t require another binder like a roux to hold it together, making your sauce silky smooth with the ultimate cheese flavor.
For this recipe, we used a combination of cheeses chosen to accent the flavor of the SRF ground Wagyu. We used an Italian-style table cheese to provide a buttery and nutty base, a taleggio to add a punch of funky meatiness, and finished it off with a young smoked gouda. We’ve provided our recommended style of cheese plus the brand we used in parentheses, but tasting multiple kinds of cheese to pair with the beef and your palate is half of the fun!

BACON-WRAPPED WAGYU MEATLOAF
Snake River Farms American Wagyu ground beef really brings up the flavor on this classic dish. This meatloaf is best cooked the day before serving, allowing it time to set up. If time allows, I recommend making the meatloaf two days in advance, so all the flavors meld and mix. Then bake the next day and serve the following day.
Meatloaf is so versatile. You can serve it with tomato base accompaniments (can you say ketchup?) for a traditional presentation. I love it just sliced cold on a sandwich. Change it up and serve with a throwback 80s mushroom sauce or lighten it up with a springtime quick dilly gravy sauce. I like to serve this with pickles or a fresh À la minute shaved fennel salad with lemon juice, olive oil and parmesan. -

Wagyu Beef Enchilada Dip
This is a recipe that goes together fast and makes life easy when you’re cooking up a full party spread. I tend to make some time-consuming dishes that are bit more intricate, so this is a good dish to build up my table without taking away valuable prep time.
Enchiladas were the first dinner I can recall making myself as a kid. I loved them so much! This fan-favorite enchilada beef dip is a no-brainer and takes minutes to go from skillet to table. The key shortcut is using your favorite store-bought red enchilada sauce instead of making it from scratch.
