57 Classic Labor Day Recipes Every Cookout Needs

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

Our Best Ideas for Your Labor Day Cookout

It’s that time of year again. Call your family and friends—and get ready to fire up the grill one more time for an all-out cookout. Although we’re year-round grillers (and will be cooking outdoors well into the fall and winter months), Labor Day is an opportunity to host an extra special get-together. Need a few menu ideas for a crowd? We like to start our barbecue with summer appetizers, move on to meaty mains like BBQ ribs or grilled chicken and finish the night with a few good, old-fashioned desserts. We’re not saying ‘goodbye’ to summer—we’re celebrating it! And, while party is sure to look a little different, there are some classics that always deserve a spot on the table, like these versatile burgers. You can load them up with traditional fixings (like American cheese, lettuce, tomato and red onion) or deck them out with the most-outrageous toppings you can think of. Either way they’ll be delicious—and loved by all!

36 Best Indoor Grill Recipes for Enjoying Year Round

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

Whether pressed on juicy burgers or strewn across a cut of scrumptious steak, grill marks turn anything they touch into a mouthwatering feast. But what do you do when the weather sabotages your plans for outdoor grilling? Well, you can still achieve that satisfying sizzle with an indoor grill. In fact, anything you can cook on direct heat will cook up beautifully on an indoor grill too. From starters to dessert, these indoor grill recipes will make a believer out of you.

Choose from different cuts of steak, all sorts of kebabs and hamburger recipes to make inside tonight. Just remember that there are a few differences between indoor and outdoor grills.

Indoor grills are powered by electricity and don’t cook food by flame, so they minimize smoke and offer a fuss-free grilling experience. The raised grill ridges also allow greasy, high-fat drippings to drain off with ease. The time and temperature you’ll need for cooking on an indoor grill is basically the same as outdoor grilling recipes. Just make sure you’re using an indoor grill with a lid when needed and a food thermometer to check that meats are coming up to temperature.
