The Bacon Ranch Chicken Burger recipe invented by Daniel McCaslin, 12, of Dakota in Stephenson County, will be featured in the third annual “Red Robin Kids’ Cook-Off” cookbook.

The cookbook will be available for free download at redrobin.com starting Tuesday. His gourmet burger recipe is one of 50 selected for the book from kids ages six to 12. More than 14,000 entries were submitted. His burger is made with ranch dressing and seasoning, garlic, lemon peper seasoning, romaine lettuce, bacon, potatoes, chicken breast, sharp cheddar cheese and an onion bun.

The cookbook also features back-to-school safety tips from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. The grand-prize-winning burger, the Holy-Peno Burger by Charlie Beckett, 8, of Rathdrum, Idaho, will be sold nationally at Red Robin restaurants from Tuesday to Sept. 13, with 50 cents from every Holy-Peno Burger given to the exploited children center.
