12 Great Grilling Recipes To Whet Your Appetite This Summer | Cheap Is The New Classy

Do you love to grill out? From burgers to steaks, my husband loves to cook on the grill. And not just meat, either. He can make a mean baked potato, corn on the cob or veggie skewer on the grill, too. Yum! For those who love to grill out, and perhaps want some new recipe inspiration, here are 12 great grilling recipes to inspire your house chef, and palate, this summer.

Fun Fact: Did you know that 63% of the population grills at least monthly? There are even a brave 33% of us who grill in below-freezing temperatures.  Also, burgers are the food that are most often grilled out. Check out the tasty Southern Comfort Glazed Mushroom Burger above if you want to change the traditional burger up a bit.

Fun Fact #2: Did you know that in the 1920’s, left over pieces from the production of Model Ts were used in the production of charcoal briquets? Another way to put a car to work in the grilling process in engine block grilling.

If you’re not going to be taking a trip anyway, engine block cooking is probably the most expensive way to cook anything, so don’t plan a trip just to cook.

Personally, I am not sure how safe this sounds, but if you have tried this and had a good experience, I would love to hear about it.
