    Organic Prairie Ground Beef

    Mary Ellen A. loves Organic Prairie ground beef so much that she's willing to go the extra mile to find it.

    BEST ORGANIC BEEF, EVER!

    "I buy only organic food. The Organic Prairie group of farms has the tastiest organic beef. I have been trying to get Whole Foods in Chicago to carry more of their beef products because they are delicious, they are local (WI), and they don't have the funny taste that Whole Foods' organic ground beef has. . . click here to read more."

    For meatless grilling, Susie S. likes Dr. Praeger's Tex Mex Veggie Burgers.

    Sizzling Andouille Sausage

    Abendigo R. plans to enjoy sizzling andouille sausage the next time he's grilling.

    Sizzling andouille sausages from Whole Foods

    "I picked these up at Whole Foods and boiled a couple and they were delicious. I think I'll sizzle them in a skillet next time. You get 4 in a pack for like $5. They're all natural and dark red with herbs . . . Click here to read more."

    An avid sausage enthusiast, Abendigo R. also recommends Niman Ranch Bratwurst.
