Meal on the Grill

Note: Make sure you use your best southern accent as you read that title. It should rhyme.

Over the past several years we have come across some good recipes to try on the grill. I posted about an awesome cook book I got from Taste of Home here.

Sometimes I enjoy cooking the entire meal on the grill (be sure and use your accent again). I am not the 'griller' in our family. My number one reason for cooking it all on the grill is I do not have to cook! Plus, no pans dirtied (other than containers used for marinating).

Hopefully you will enjoy this meal (or bits and pieces) at your house this summer as well.

Teriyaki Shish Kabobs
½ cup ketchup
½ cup sugar
½ cup soy sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground ginger
2 lbs boneless beef sirloin steak (cut into 1 ½ inch cubes)
½ fresh pineapple, cut into 1 inch cubes
2-3 small zucchini, cut into 1 inch chunks
½ lb whole fresh mushrooms
½ lb pearl onions, peeled
1 large green or sweet red pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces

Combine first five ingredients; toss with beef. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Drain beef, reserving marinade. Thread meat, pineapple, and vegetables alternately on long skewers. Grill over hot heat for 15-20 minutes (maybe less), turning often, or until meat reaches desired doneness and vegetables are tender. Simmer the marinade in a small saucepan over low heat for 15 minutes. Remove meat and vegetables from skewers; serve with marinade.
**we omitted the veggies this night from the shish kabob and cooked them as stated below.

Fresh Squash and Zucchini
1 squash (from the garden)
1 zucchini (from the garden)
1 onion
Soy sauce

Slice up the veggies and place in disposable pan. Sprinkle some soy sauce to your desired flavor. Place on top rack of grill and cook until done (approx 20 minutes).

Grilled Cheese Loaf
3 oz cream cheese, softened
2 TBSP butter, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup chopped green onions with tops
½ tsp garlic salt
1 loaf French bread, sliced

In mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter. Add cheese, onions, and garlic salt; mix well. Spread on both sides of each slice of bread. Wrap loaf in a large piece of heavy-duty foil. Seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning once. Unwrap foil; grill 5 minutes longer.

Banana Boats
In my blog reading I have come across this recipe twice. Personally, I did not care for the warm bananas.
