Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Stuffing

Wow, this grilled pork tenderloin with apples and stuffing turned out great. Although the original recipe called for baking bone-in pork chops, I knew that grilling a marinated pork tenderloin would result in a more tender, juicy dish. We’re big fans of pork tenderloin in this house. When they go on sale, I go to the store and grab a few packs (there are two in a package). Marinating them not only adds great flavor it helps keep the meat tender and moist. There’s no reason to buy a great tenderloin only to dry it out on a grill.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Stuffing

The Perfect Pork Topping

The topping on this grilled pork tenderloin with apples and stuffing is beyond great. It reminds you of eating apple pie and turkey stuffing at the same time. Almost like it was Thanksgiving. The slight sweetness of the apple pie really goes really well with the apple-flavored pork. Don’t worry, it’s not overly sweet at all. And any sweetness is offset by the wonderful pork.

Grilled Kung Pao Chicken and Egg-Fried Rice

Kung Pao chicken is a great thing. Grilling (I used my Weber grill) it makes it an excellent thing. We both really enjoyed how this (easy) grilled Kung Pao chicken and egg-fried rice dish came out. There’s a hint of kick from the chicken cooled by the grilled sweetness of the grilled pineapple. Served over a simple egg-fried rice, this dish hit the spot. Despite just how simple it was to put together, it’s a real winner and something we make often.

Grilled Kung Pao Chicken and Egg-Fried Rice

Let A Grill Basket Do The Work

This grilled Kung Pao chicken and egg-fried rice dish came out tastier and easier to make than I had imagined. I found the best way to cook the chicken, mushrooms and pineapple was to throw them all into a grill basket over high heat after first searing the chicken over direct heat. I am not a fan of mixing raw chicken with anything. I prefer to cook it on its own. I’m guaranteed a properly-cooked protein that way.

Cooking was easy. Cleanup was easy.

Grilled Ravioli

Well, I’ll be darned if these grilled ravioli weren’t just yummy! They are the perfect party snacks. Just put the ravioli on a hot grill (I used my Weber) for a few minutes. Warm your favorite sauce or sauces. Marinara and pizza sauces are our favorites. But you can use something like an alfredo sauce too. For a party, serve them with several different sauces and watch them disappear!

Grilled Ravioli

Great Crunch. Great Flavor.

The ravioli get a nice crunch on the edges, giving you a great ‘handle’ for holding on to. Like I mentioned, they’re great for a party or that big Super Bowl get-together. But, beware. It’s easy to burn them. So keep an eye on them on after you put them on the grill. If it’s your first time making them I suggest you start by grilling just one or two. You can then get a feel for how long they take to cook on your grill. After that you can tackle cooking a bigger batch all at once. Just don’t walk away and leave them un-attended for very long.

Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Pecan Butter

These grilled sweet potatoes with pecan butter are a favorite Thanksgiving dish for us. It’s a bit sweet, a lot easy, and very tasty. You can make it ahead of time and cook it on-site, in the oven or on a grill (which is how I do it). The beauty of cooking sides on the grill at Thanksgiving is that it helps free up the oven, which is so often crammed full of food. These potatoes come out slightly sweet, but with a nice edge thanks to the onion. Sweet potatoes and onion make for a wonderful combination.

Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Pecan Butter

Two Easy Steps

There are basically two parts to these potatoes. First, you grill the potatoes and sweet onions and a bit of oil in foil packets until they are tender. Then, you spoon on a sweet nutty cinnamony topping and let that get all melty happy. Serve them up in the foil packets or put them into a large bowl and serve family style.

Herbed Ricotta Bruschetta

Silly me, I always thought bruschetta is always topped with tomatoes. But after further reading I found that bruschetta is often topped with meats, beans, and… of course, cheese. Like this herbed ricotta bruschetta.

Herbed Ricotta Bruschetta

Don’t Over-Toast The Bread

The bread is only grilled long enough to get a little color, char and crisp. You spread them with the creamy cheese mixture that contains one of my favorites, green onion. Cut these into little strips and serve this herbed Ricotta bruschetta up as appetizers at your next outdoor party. If you want to prepare ahead of time, you can make the spread in advance. Then you just need to grill the bread.

Grilled Chicken Flatbread Pizza

We were both very pleasantly surprised as to how well this simple grilled chicken flatbread pizza came out. There’s a great crunch from the flatbread, and some kick (we used a hot Italian flatbread). The savory garlic cooking creme was nice and garlicky, making for a nice combination with the grilled chicken. We’ll definitely use the cooking creme as a pizza sauce again. This is a wonderful change from our usual red-sauce pizza. The combination of the toppings and sauce were perfect. And we both really love using flatbread as a canvas for a pizza. Sure, traditional dough is great. Or we could’ve bought a pre-made pizza crust. But that flatbread crunch was something we were both craving. Plus it holds up really well to a lot of toppings and we do love our toppings!

Grilled Chicken Flatbread Pizza

A Nice Change From Red Sauce Pizza

If you can’t find the cooking creme to make a grilled chicken flatbread pizza, just use a nice garlicky pizza sauce. You can substitute rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the breasts. Just chop and toss with a bit of the dressing first.

Instructions

  • Place chicken into a resealable baggie. Add the dressing. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Fire up a grill for direct and indirect cooking.
  • Place the bell pepper over direct heat, turning occasionally, until charred and softened.
  • Meanwhile, sear the chicken over direct heat then move to indirect heat and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 F.
  • Let the pepper and chicken cool.
  • Remove most of the char from the pepper. Remove the seeds and cut into thin strips.
  • Cut the chicken into thin strips.
  • Bake the flatbreads per package instructions. Since you already have a grill going, just toss them onto indirect heat for a few minutes until they start to crisp.
  • Spread the cooking creme over the flatbreads and top with the chicken, pepper, and artichokes.
  • Sprinkle pizzas with the cheeses cook another 4-5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with the basil

Notes

You can use pre-cooked chicken and jarred roasted peppers if you wish. In that case, cook the flatbreads in the oven per package instructions.
If you can’t find the cooking creme, mix roasted garlic with softened cream cheese instead.

Grilled Hasselback Potatoes

This is not my first time making grilled Hasselback potatoes. I have had a love-hate relationship with them in the past. I have always loved the presentation and the flavor, but I hated them when they would fall apart. I’d either cut them too deep, or handle them too roughly, and they would just fall to pieces. This time I got them just right.

Grilled Hasselback Potatoes

The Keys To Success

For me, there are two keys to making these grilled Hasselback potatoes. The first is to not cut too deeply into the potatoes. The way to do that is to put two wooden spoons alongside the potatoes (after cutting a small piece off the bottoms of the potatoes so that they do not roll around). When you slice them vertically, the spoons will stop the knife at the same point for each cut, well above the bottom, preventing you from cutting too far.

Second, when adding ingredients in between the slices, grab the ends of the potatoes. This will keep you from spreading the slices open too far, causing them to tear and fall apart. Follow those two simple steps and you’ll end up with great potatoes, too.

Sweet Corn Cob Pops

It is sweet corn season here in Indiana. We recently put up over 100 ears of corn for next winter. Sweet corn is a mighty good thing, whether in a chowder, in salsa, or my favorite, right off the grill. I just love the charred sweetness of corn off a charcoal fire. And you’ll find that these little corn cob pops make eating corn even more fun.

We get our sweet corn from My Dad’s Sweet Corn, in Tipton, Indiana. Their corn is available at many of the farmer’s markets in and around Indianapolis.

Sweet Corn Cob Pops

The Perfect Dipping Sauce

The dipping sauce with the sweet corn cob pops tastes so fresh with a great cilantro flavor, backed with a little heat from a jalapeno. You’ll find that you’re going to want to serve more than one of these pops per person.

Get yourself a good set of grill tools for these corn pops and anything else you grill. You won’t regret the extra few bucks they cost over the cheap ones that you’re going to have to replace in a few years. I have had several sets of Weber tools for decades and have yet to replace a single one.

Spicy Roasted Baby Potatoes

Baby potatoes have such tremendous potato flavor. And they cook very quickly, making them great to make on the grill, like these spicy roasted baby potatoes. These little bites-of-nothing-but-goodness pack some mighty nice kick. Just like I like it. And don’t fear the spicy, either. We’re not talking ‘oh my! my mouth is on fire’ spicy. There’s just enough to wake up your taste buds.

You can substitute fingerling potatoes too, just make sure they are all about the same size or they won’t cook evenly. You want tender, tasty baby potatoes. You don’t want to bite into a hard potato. Ever. The more they are the same size, the better they’ll be!

Spicy Roasted Baby Potatoes

Add A Little Smokiness

For a little smokiness in your spicy roasted baby potatoes, substitute chipotle powder for the chili powder. You’ll still get a nice kick. And you’ll get just the right hint of smoke. If you’re cooking these on a gas grill, people will think you used charcoal or wood!

Grilled Big Mac

This is my take on the McDonald’s Big Mac. Grilled, of course. This is one mighty fine burger. You might have to do ‘the hunch’ because it’s gonna drip on ya. And ya might have to press down a bit on it because it’s a tall burger. We’re not messing around here, this is the classic Big Mac, with a wonderful twist. You can’t go wrong with a grilled Big Mac. In my opinion a grilled burger beats out any other burger every day of the week. Well, ok I might say it’s tied with a smash burger. Either way, this is a great burger.

Grilled Big Mac

Grilled Is Better, I Think

I’m not a big fan of any burger that isn’t cooked over fire, so these burgers have that Big Mac taste along with that great grill flavor. They’re big, messy, and delicious! Oh, and they’re bigger! Heck, you can make them as big as you want!
