READING, Pa., July 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Have you become a Burger Master this summer? Have you put in hours at the grill coming up with new ground beef brainstorms? Don’t be shy: show off your inner Rachael Ray by entering Steak-umm’s ‘Labor Day Burger Bash’ Recipe Contest with your most creative burger recipe using Steak-umm Patties by August 15 – just in time for less inventive cooks to put them on the menu for their Labor Day cookouts.

Simply go to your test kitchen (you didn’t know you had one, did you?) and whip up an original recipe fit for the dog days of summer using frozen, ready-to-cook Steak-umm Original or Sweet Onion Patties. These pre-formed burgers can be grilled, skillet-fried or oven-broiled in minutes straight from the freezer, saving assembly time and making it easy to cook for a crowd.

As a bonus, they don’t fall apart like their raw counterparts so you won’t wind up with a pile of broken burgers just when you’re trying to impress the neighbors with your culinary handiwork.

Entries will be judged on originality, taste, visual appeal, creative use of the product, and (the biggest challenge) suitability for serving a backyard full of guests on a sweltering summer night.

First prize will be a Paul Jr. Designs Coleman RoadTrip Grill, a $199 retail value featuring authentic open flame grilling, two fully adjustable burners, 22,000 BTUs of cooking power, and the ability to fold into a compact size that fits most cars. Second prize is a Covered Deep Skillet Steak-umm Pan.

The contest runs from July 10 through August 15, 2012. Winners will be selected by August 20, 2012. All entries must include the name, address, email address (if available) and telephone of the entrant as well as the recipe, and be time-stamped or postmarked no later than August 15. Recipes can be submitted to labordayburgerbash@sspr.com with the subject line ‘Labor Day Burger Bash Recipe Contest’ or mailed to the attention of:
