Grilled Ranchero Onion Burgers recipe

I was in the mood to fire up the grill and these Ranchero Onion Burgers looked pretty good. This is a simple recipe that mixes salsa and shredded cheese into the burger before it is formed into patties resulting in a good juicy burger. I didn’t toast the buns for this recipe but I think that would be a nice added touch.

If you’re looking for a grilled burger recipe that’s a little different give this one a try; they’re really good.

mushroom smothered pork chop recipe

This is another simple recipe to feed just 2 people. It does take a little bit of time because the chops are marinated for at least 2 hours, but if you plan your meals ahead of time you can start the marinade the night before. The chops are topped with mushrooms and pepper jack cheese.
(The weather wasn’t permitting, but if I make this dish again I will do it on the grill, I think the grilled flavor would turn them into a delicious treat)

chili corn chip hot dogs recipe

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.
If you’re in a hurry, and still have a desire to fire up the grill, give this Chili Corn Chip Hot Dogs Recipe a try. Enjoy

Here’s another simple and really good recipe for country ribs; sticky, gooey, tender and delicious. As always the secret is in the sauce. These ribs are precooked in the oven and then finished off on the grill.

I decided to serve these ribs with a cold salad which pared really well. This is a simple recipe, but it does take a bit of time due to having to precook the ribs.

If you like grilled pork ribs give this recipe a try. After 2 days my wife is still taking about how good the sauce was.
