Grilling suggestions


Recommended Posts

We use the outside grill and camp stove for everything while camping.

Our go to meals are:

Bfast; BACON, sausage, peppers and tators

Lunches:

Brats, Burgers and andouli snausages

Dinner:

Steak and Asparagus

Pork Chops and Brussels

Grilled Seafood Boil (grilled shrimp, sausage, tators, corn)

But we are going to try a real seafood boil and some crawfish this year using the camp stove.

Any other suggestions?

We won't be using a crockpot since we are dry camping.

Take your basic meatloaf mix; pack it around your sausage of choice (Kielbasa is very good); wrap it in foil; toss on the grill! The next day, you cut thick slabs from the leftovers and grill them!

I knew I :heart: you for a reason...I think I just figured it out.... :rofl2: :heartsmiley: :rofl2:

Chicken breast marinade for 24 hours in a tequila lime juice!

For the marinade use any Italian dressing, 3-4 whole limes (halved and juiced squeezed into marinade, then put the halves in the juice) and 1/4 cup of tequila or mescal. Let it soak for 24 hours and grill. Top with grilled onions and peppers and a sprinkle of pepper jack cheese.

Almost forgot about those!

Brush the shells with olive oil and toast a bit each side, put on your toppings and close the cover on the grill until the cheese melts (if you're using cheese). Put the grill on low - they burn easily on the bottom.

Some favorite toppings...

pesto and fresh mozzarella

sun dried tomatoes and proscuitto

...and if Brian is around there's bound to be a fried egg on there somewhere.

:rofl2:

Other good kabob-able veg...

Summer squash - yellow or zucchini

Sweet potatoes (careful they burn easily)

Baby red potatoes (toss in olive oil, s&p and any seasoning you like)

Yea we do these, but with out the kabob, we just slice length wise and grill on the grates.

Another good one is Eggplant.

and of course asparagus.

And Corn on the Cob in the husk, but desilked.

There is always Beer Can Chicken ... with the caveat that it doesn't have to be beer ...

I make one using a pink lemonade mix based rub and Sprite/Mike's Hard Lemonade/... as the 'Beer Can'. There are MANY ways - go for it!

Plain ole baked taters wrapped in foil; sweet taters; almost any choice of veggies wrapped in foil (throw in butter & season to taste before wrapping)

Deep Fried anything - What? You don't have a cast iron deep fryer and basket - poor baby!

Hobo supper.

Foil bag filled with butter, any smoked sausage, sliced, butter, potatoes cubes, butter, chopped onion, butter, chopped bell pepper, butter, carrots , butter, and seasoned salt, with butter.

Put on grill for about 20-30 minutes until taters are tender. You add or subtract any root type veggie. You can add just about anything you like. The juices from the sausage, the butter, mix with the seasoned salt and veggies and make it oh so good.

Oh if you happen to have bacon throw that in also.

It's a pretty easy meal and it's low fat and low calorie. The butter cooks out all the calories and fat.

Tip cut the taters smaller then the other softer veggies because taters take longer to cook.

Old time favorite here. We break it down into side dishes for dinner.

One pouch: sliced potatoes, onions, salt, pepper and butter.

Second pouch: sliced mushrooms, onions, salt, pepper and butter.

Serve with steaks, chops, grilled fish...you get the idea. Leftovers into the skillet in the morning for hash and eggs.

Oh, for grilled fish, find fillets with the skin on, any firm fish will do. Score the fish, season and place directly on the grill, skin-side down. Baste with a little melted butter and lemon. When the edges of the skin start to blacken and crisp (about 10 minutes or so) and the fish lifts easily from the skin, you're done. Slide a spatula between the skin and the fish and leave the skin on the grill. If your coals are hot enough, the skin will crisp to a chip that pops right off and you can throw it away after your meal is done. On a gas grill, let it run a little longer and then shut it off. When the grill is cool, the skin will be crisp and it will pop off.
