Whenever you’re cooking outdoors on the grill, there’s always room leftover to put treats. Like these insanely good grilled bacon-wrapped stuffed olives. They’re easy to cook, and disappear in minutes. I often refer to these as ‘cooks treats’, since I get to be the first person to sample them. And often I sample too many. But the nice thing is that I’m the only person that knows.
Eat ‘Em Like Popcorn
These are the world’s easiest snacks. I used jalapeno-stuffed olives, but you can use garlic-stuffed or whatever you like, even Gouda-stuffed ones. Or heck, they don’t even have to be stuffed! These little morsels come out salty and briny, with a nice kick from the rub (I used a sweet rub with a little kick to it).
Never let that empty grill space go to waste. If you have a fire going, might as well use it. It doesn’t have to be for anything fancy. These little treats are a great example of that.
