The Ultimate Grilling Menu
It's not summer without a backyard grilling fiesta, and we've put together the ultimate menu to give you a hand this year. Whether you've got the grill ready to go, or are in need of something new and are dreaming big, don't worry — we've taken care of the menu for you.
Load up the cooler with ice. Make a couple of pitchers of margaritas or sangria, and don't forget to have lots of beer (and mixers if you're in the mood for a beer cocktail) on hand. Then choose from our menu below (or pick from even more cook-out sides) and have fun.
