Folks, in this post we're sharing a full ranch meal. We recently traveled to a historic ranch in Northern Nevada and had a good time visiting the area with Merilyn Sustacha who also helped put this feast together.

We invite y'all to watch the video below to view the beautiful scenery and listen to Merilyn share some stories. more

We appreciate you sharing our recipes with your friends and family!


Garlic Parmesan Green Beans

These are roasted up with a perfect blend of garlic and of course bacon! We recommend seasoning with our Red River Ranch Original Seasoning, to really enhance the flavors. Top this off with some fresh Parmesan cheese and it's the perfect side to the family meal.

Buckaroo 'Taters | Fried Potatoes

This easy dish is best made in cast iron to really bring out the flavors. Sliced 'taters fry in with green bell pepper, onions and bacon for a classic ranch dish that will create a stick-to-your-ribs side dish.

Raspberry Apple Crumble

This is a pairing made in heaven. I prefer to use a sweet apple (Gala or Fuji), which couples perfectly with the tartness of the raspberry Jell-O. Sprinkle with a butter and brown sugar crumble mixture and you'll have a dessert that can stand alone. Or make it really special and serve with ice cream.
