Grilled Scalloped Potatoes

Nothing beats cooking on the grill (I used my Weber charcoal grill). Great flavors and easy cleanup. Like this awesome grilled scalloped potatoes dish. Super cheesy, mushroom-y and buttery. Made in a foil packet, you won’t have to worry about a mess. Just sit down and enjoy a fantastic side dish!

Make Room! Potatoes Coming Through!

This recipe for grilled scalloped potatoes doubles easily, just make sure you have space on your grill for the extra packets. If you don’t, that’s ok. Just cook them in batches. The potatoes will stay warm in the packets as you cook the remaining ones.

I use a mandolin to cut my potatoes thin. When I first started cooking I was afraid that I’d lop off a finger with a mandolin. Practice makes perfect and I still have all of my digits! You can use a knife instead of course, but try to keep the slices a consistent thickness so that the potatoes cook evenly.

Ingredients

1 10 ounce condensed cream of mushroom soup

4 large russet potatoes peeled, sliced into 1/4″ rounds

Spray a large piece of aluminum foil with non-stick spray.

Top with butter pats and seal foil into a packet.
Cook over indirect heat at least 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked.
Serve with a few dollops of sour cream.

Yellow potatoes are great in this dish too.

Grilled Sausage with Potatoes and Green Beans

I’m a big fan of grilled packet dishes. Anything from simple sides to entire meals can be made quite easily in an aluminum foil packet. They don’t always look fru-fru, but they always taste great, like this grilled sausage with potatoes and green beans. The beauty of this packet meal (and really any packet meal) is that as everything cooks together the flavors all blend together. The sausage seasons the potatoes and beans. The potatoes get some of that bean love. In the end, its a packet of food happiness!

Nothing Boring Here.

This meal-in-a-packet idea really has great flavor. The sausage, beans, potatoes and onion all steam and cook up together, creating a nice broth. Grilled sausage with potatoes and green beans isn’t anything fancy, but it’ll fill you up and it tastes great. And it’s easy. Very easy.

I sprinkled this with smoked black pepper for a little added flavor. The pepper is not crunchy or overwhelmingly strong, it just adds a nice little smoky taste as it cooks down inside the steamy packet.

Grilled Cincinnati Hot Dog

Ah, hot dogs. One of my favorite things. And you can put almost anything on them. Lately, I’ve been making more traditional hot dogs, such as the Boston hot dog, or the Chicago dog. Like the others, this grilled Cincinnati hot dog is very tasty, and very easy.

Real Cincinnati Chili Is Required

The key to a great grilled Cincinnati hot dog is to use real Cincinnati chili, which has a hint of cinnamon. I used some chili I picked up from Skyline Chili. If you don’t have a Skyline Chili near you, check the canned chili section of your local grocery store as Skyline also sells a canned version of their famous chili but you can also make my slow cooker Cincinnati chili.

Grilled Boston Hot Dogs

Ya know, I love hot dogs. Any way, any time. After recently making some grilled Chicago dogs and Seattle Dogs, I decided I had to make grilled Boston hot dogs next. They’re super easy, and very, very tasty. These are not some wimpy, skimpy-on-the-toppings hot dogs. So don’t grab some wimpy el cheapo hot dog buns to serve them on. Grab those big deli ones. The strong ones. You’ll need them!

The Perfect Combination

You can’t beat the combination of hot dog relish, baked beans, chopped onions, mustard, and ketchup. There’s an explosion of flavor in every bite, but they’re still simple dogs. You could easily throw all of the ingredients into a small cooler and head to the local park and grill up a quick tasty lunch.

Seattle-Style Hot Dogs

Mmmmmm. Oh my goodness. Where have I been that I didn’t know that slathering cream cheese on a hot dog is just about the best thing ever? This simple approach to Seattle-style hot dogs is a fantastic way to jazz up your ‘usual’ hot dog.

Fancy. And Good.

I used pickled pepper rings, but you can substitute jalapenos instead for a little kick. To make your Seattle-style hot dogs look a bit out-of-the-ordinary, cut a ‘+’ pattern in the ends before tossing them onto the grill. The ends will separate and give the dogs a different look. You can also cut them into spirals and amaze everyone (plus they hold ingredients better!).

These are delicious hot dogs with a great twist that everyone will enjoy.

Buffalo Slaw

We absolutely loved this Buffalo slaw. It is no doubt one of our favorite non-traditional slaws. It is creamy, and smooth, thanks to mayo, sour cream and blue cheese crumbles. There’s a great celery crunch. There’s just a hint of Buffalo wing sauce flavor. Served cold, this slaw complements any meal, and especially, something hot off of the grill!

Nice And Blue Cheesy

If you find that blue cheese is a bit too strong for you, you can substitute Gorgonzola cheese crumbles. This slaw is great with either. But it does need some tang, some funkiness. So don’t leave it out.

This slaw is great by itself. I also like it on top of a grilled chicken sandwich.

Glazed Kielbasa Bites

These lil glazed kielbasa bites are perfect for your next backyard get-together. They’re easy to make, grill up in just minutes, and they feed a small crowd. Every bite has a nice mix of Asian-inspired flavors, perfectly complimenting the grilled sausage. Mix things up by using different kinds of sausages, from kielbasa to smoked sausage to even andouille.

Great Party Bites

You can make a whole lot of these without making a big fuss. They’re a great way to fee everyone while you’re off grilling the main dish.

For little kick, substitute Sriracha sauce for the chili sauce. Any good thick sauce will work just great on these glazed kielbasa bites. Thinner sauces will not adhere well enough to stay around long enough to add flavor. Thicker is better.

Pineapple Chicken Wings

I was looking for a different take on chicken wings and boy, did I find it. These pineapple chicken wings are sweeter than the “usual” wings you get, with a slight Asian flavor thanks to the soy sauce. The dipping sauce was fantastic. So good in fact that I ended up using the same sauce later for our grilled glazed kielbasa bites.

If you have a Char-Broil Big Easy oil-less fryer, try out my Wingin’ator 3000 modification. It lets you cook a large amount of wings all at once. It’s great for cooking these pineapple chicken wings. Any wings for that matter!

Three Bean Macaroni Salad

I’m always on the lookout for a new salad, especially if it has macaroni in it. This three bean macaroni salad is somewhat similar to our popular peas and pasta salad. It has a nice creamy dressing and a nice crunch thanks to onion and bell pepper. The addition of dill really makes the dressing even better. And oh, the dressing. Delicious.

Cheese Is Optional

I can see adding cubed pepper jack cheese to this three bean macaroni salad to really take it over the top. So I included it in the recipe, though I didn’t make it with the cheese. I trust my judgement on this one.

I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

If you’re looking for the perfect snack for a big party, you have found it. I found this Buffalo Ranch snack mix to be so addictive (especially the Bugles). There’s just a hint of hot wing sauce.
