El Paso, TX (KFOX14) \u2014 Okay, this was fun. We started with a box from Great American Steakhouse and ended with nearly everything needed to turn an ordinary evening into burger night at home.<\/p>\n
Chef Carlos Castillo joined us on Daytime to open the restaurant\u2019s take-home burger kit, show us what comes inside and explain how El Paso families can order one for a backyard barbecue, a watch party or a low-effort dinner with a group.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe make these great burgers, and we wanted people to be able to do a barbecue with them outside,\u201d Chef Carlos told us.What comes inside the burger kit?<\/p>\n
The standard kit featured in our segment was built for eight burgers. Inside, we found eight burger patties, house pickles, green leaf lettuce, tomatoes, onions, ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, Great American seasoning and eight slices of American cheese.<\/p>\n
The ingredients were already portioned and organized, which is the part that makes the kit useful. You still get to put the burgers on the grill and build them the way your family likes them, but you are not making a separate grocery run for every topping and condiment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do these in-house every day,\u201d Chef Carlos said while walking us through the box.<\/p>\n
At the time our segment was recorded, Great American Steakhouse quoted the eight-burger kit at $39.99. Because restaurant prices and package details can change, customers should confirm the current price and contents when ordering.<\/p>\n
The restaurant\u2019s official website continues to promote its signature burger patties as an option customers can take home. Great American Steakhouse describes itself as a locally and family-owned restaurant that has served the El Paso community since 1977.<\/p>\n
Add margaritas to the take-home order<\/p>\n
Then we got to the margaritas, because burgers and margaritas are a fairly convincing dinner plan.<\/p>\n
The Great American team showed us take-home margarita options in mango, strawberry and lemon. The segment described each package as four 10-ounce cups, already prepared with alcohol. The team said the mixture included tequila, triple sec, simple syrup and lemon juice, along with the selected fruit flavor.<\/p>\n
At the time of filming, the margarita package was quoted at $25. Customers should check current availability, pricing and pickup requirements directly with the restaurant.<\/p>\n
How to order a Great American burger kit<\/p>\n
During our visit, the Great American team said customers could place an order online, call a restaurant or request a kit while visiting a location. Ordering well in advance was an option, but the team said the kits were also regularly kept ready for quicker orders.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can order it right away, and we always have them ready,\u201d a Great American team member explained.<\/p>\n
The segment also indicated that some call-in orders could be prepared in approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Preparation times can vary, so calling ahead is still the practical move, especially when ordering several kits or planning for a larger group.<\/p>\n
What caught us was how simple the idea was. Great American prepares the patties and burger fixings, you take the box home, fire up the grill and handle the part that is actually fun. No complicated setup. No long ingredient list. Just a straightforward option for feeding a group in El Paso.<\/p>\n
The restaurant currently lists five locations in the El Paso area, including Airway, Transmountain, Zaragoza, Sunland Park and Vinton. Online ordering is also available through the restaurant\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n
