Main Dishes
When it comes to grilling out in the sun, nothing beats classic hamburgers or juicy steaks cooked over an open flame. But if you're looking for something more creative than just plain burgers or steak sandwiches, we have plenty of ideas here too:
Sides
-
Grilled Pork Chops: Marinate pork chops overnight in garlic-infused olive oil before grilling them over medium heat until they reach 145°F internal temperature – they'll be tender inside with crunchy charred edges outside! Serve them alongside grilled vegetables such as zucchini slices or bell peppers strips for added flavor(and color).
-
Veggie Burgers: For those who prefer plant-based diets but still want all of their favorite flavors from traditional burgers without any meat involved – veggie patties are where it’s at! Use store bought patties made from beans/lentils/quinoa mix topped off with lettuce leaves & tomatoes plus condiments such as ketchup & mustard; alternatively try making homemade ones using mashed potatoes mixed together with diced onion & spices then pan fried until golden brown perfection is achieved. Yummm…
-
BBQ Chicken Wings: Who doesn’t love chicken wings? They’re always crowd pleasers when served hot off of the grill drenched in sweet BBQ sauce! Simply brush chicken wings generously with sauce before placing onto preheated grill grate; flip every few minutes while basting additional sauce onto both sides until fully cooked through. Serve along side ranch dressing dip, celery sticks, carrot sticks … whatever else tickles one’s fancy!
No matter what type of main dish you choose for your summer barbeque feast, having tasty side dishes makes all difference between ordinary meal vs extraordinary experience!
