Texas Family Reunion Recipe Guide

Out of all the fun activities summer brings, family reunions have to be the most memorable. It’s a time for bringing family together, whether you see each other every week or every other year. Some families sing songs and others play games and activities, but all have one thing in common-the food.

Everything is bigger here in Texas, and that includes our family reunions. It isn’t uncommon for Texan families to need a hundred or so name tags to keep track, and that’s not an exaggeration. We’re big on tradition here, so usually families have their reunions at the same place each year and celebrate with the same kind of meal.

Nothing brings Texans together like beef. Stop by a family reunion ’round here and you’ll probably see smoked brisket, burgers or fajitas being served. This isn’t much of a surprise since grilling and smoking season never stops.

Truly, when a Texan family gets together for a reunion, there has to be beef on the grill, and it can only happen in Texas. Check out our favorite beef recipes for your next reunion or get-together!
