Winter here in Upper Michigan has been real nasty. I finally gave up on waiting for warmer weather and decided to fire up the grill in the subzero temperatures.

This Grilled Queso Burgers recipe is quick and simple to put together. I was looking for something a little different in a grilled burger and this seemed to fit pretty well. I used regular Rotel with green chilies but if you want to turn up the heat you can use the hot version.

Give these Grilled Queso Burgers a try they’re really good.

simple grilled pork chops recipe

These pork chops turn out tender, moist, and delicious. This recipe uses anchovy paste, and honey to aid in the browning of the chops. I have never used anchovy paste as an ingredient so it made me a little nervous as to exactly what kind of flavor impact it would have on the chops – but it did not turn out to be an issue; they were very good.

This recipe takes a little bit of time, mainly due to the brining time required, but once there placed on the grill they cook quickly.

The next time your fire up the grill give this Simple Grilled Pork Chops Recipe a try; it’s a simple recipe and well worth the effort.

  3. Preheat and prepare grill over medium high heat.

Peach-Glazed Grilled Chicken recipe

Peach-Glazed Grilled Chicken recipe 2

When I first looked at this recipe I thought, It looks OK, but it was much better than that. The peach preserves, fresh peach, along with a little heat from a jalapeno and cayenne pepper turned this dish into a delicious combination of flavors. It does take a little time to prepare because of the brine time, but it is well worth the effort.

Fire up the grill and give this one a try – it’s really good!

Sticky, gooey, and delicious! These Barbecued Chicken Kebabs have a delicious combination of flavors, they do take a little time to prepare, because of the time the chicken marinates in the bacon spice mixture, other then that this is a simple recipe. I prepared the recipe as written with the exception of the amount of chicken used which was a little less than the 2 pounds it calls for; so I wound up with 3 Kebabs, instead of 4.

I used wooden skewers, but metal if you have them would be a better choice because even after being soaked they still have a tendency to burn over high heat.

The next time you want to fire up the grill give these Barbecued Chicken Kebabs a try; there great!

Ingredients
  • Ingredients for sauce
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 2 tablespoons onion (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (packed)
  • Ingredients for chicken
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1 inch chunks)
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 4 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 slices bacon (cut into ½ inch pieces)
Instructions
  1. Directions for chicken
  2. Process bacon in a food processor until a paste forms. In a large bowl whisk together the paprika's, sugar, and kosher salt, and then work the bacon paste into the mixture. I found using my hands worked best for this. Add the chunks of chicken to the bowl and using your hands thoroughly coat the chicken with the bacon spice mixture. Cover with plastic rap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  3. Directions for sauce
  4. While chicken is marinating mix all the sauce ingredients together in a small sauce pan. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook until mixture is reduced to about 1 cup, about 5 – 7 minutes. Remove ½ cup to a dipping bowl, and set aside.
  5. Preheat and prepare grill.
  6. Thread chicken on 4 skewers. Place skewers on grill grates over medium high heat and grill with cover closed until nicely browned on one side, flip kebabs, and using a brush coat browned side with barbecue sauce. After 2nd side is browned flip kebabs again and coat with sauce. Continue flipping and brushing every few minutes until chicken is done and slightly charred. (165F)
  7. Remove chicken to a serving platter, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 – 10 minutes; serve with dipping sauce.

Sometimes a lot can be said for keeping it simple. If you’re in a hurry this recipe is for you.
I didn’t have a lot of time to spare, and I had most of the ingredients on hand to put together this Chili Corn Chip Hot Dogs Recipe. I used the grill for the hot dogs, but if you don’t have the time to prepare the grill, the oven broiler should work out fine. This is basically a chili dog recipe with a few added ingredients. I decided to use whole-wheat hot dog buns for this recipe, but that was a matter of preference, replace them with white if you don’t care for the whole-wheat.
