Although I’m not a big meat-eater, I love barbecuing. It’s a simple way to make the flavors of the food pop. You get such a fantastic smokiness flavor to the food that you just can’t get with any other method of cooking. I don’t have my fancy BBQ grill anymore, but I do have a hot plate. It doesn’t work AS good, but some of the smokiness flavor is still there, so if you have a grill, don’t hold back. You’ll want to try these mouth-watering summer BBQ ideas below!
You can cook on the grill and freeze what you can’t eat right away. Put some away for freezer meals. I freeze cooked hamburger all the time to make dinners super quick and don’t notice any difference in flavor. While you’re at it, throw a couple extra pieces of meat on the grill for me and I’ll be right over. 😉
