Stripling’s Old Fashioned Red Rind Hoop cheese is mild in taste and is wonderful when served as a dessert cheese with melons, berries, and various wines.

But red rind hoop cheese is also great to have on hand in the summer when the squash is coming in fresh from the fields and you feel like whipping up a yummy squash casserole. Our recipe below for Summer Squash Casserole makes an impressive main course in and of itself since the cheese and eggs give heartiness. Pair it alongside sliced fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and other garden vegetables as well as a slice or two of homemade corn bread.

Summer Squash Casserole
4 cups cubed yellow squash
1 medium onion, chopped
2/3 cup milk
2 eggs
2/3 cup melted butter
1 pound wedge Stripling’s Old Fashioned Red Rind Hoop Cheese, grated
1 ¾ cup crushed Ritz crackers
Salt and pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, minced

We added beef jerky as a new custom product in 1995. The secret to our jerky is very lean cuts of beef seasoned to perfection! We cut and hang each piece by hand before sending it into the smoker. The results are a low-fat, mouth-watering treat that has become a favorite for many.

Serving Suggestion:

Add 1/2 teas. to potato salad for a spicy change.

A sweet and tangy dip. Black-Eyed peas like you've never had before.
