This round-up is full of easy, family-friendly, and mostly real food recipes that you can throw on the grill in no time.

There are so many grilling recipes on the web, but it’s hard to find real food grilling recipes. You know, the whole food kind with ingredients that don’t involve a seasoning pack or bottle of marinade from the store that’s full of preservatives and additives. We’ve got you covered with over 15 Real Food Grilling Recipes.

15+ Easy Grill Recipes

Cheesy Chive Burgers

There’s nothing quite like a big juicy homemade burger, eh? The fresh herbs and shredded cheese inside these patties take them over the top in taste and texture.

Grilled Honey Garlic Chicken Kabobs

This 5 ingredient chicken kabob marinade is sweet, savory and incredibly easy! With just a few simple pantry ingredients, you can take your kabob game to the next level.

Smash Burgers

These Smash Burgers rival any fast food chain. When grilled correctly, the edges are perfectly crispy and the middle is still juicy and flavorful. The addition of our secret sauce truly takes them to the next level.

Honey Dijon Chicken Sandwich

In this flavorful chicken sandwich, the sweetness of the honey is balanced with the zip of the Dijon mustard in the marinade and sauce. Serve on a pretzel bun with Swiss and bacon for a stellar sandwich!

Pesto Burgers

Pesto Burgers are the bomb. They are an incredibly easy grilling recipe, a great recipe for a crowd, AND a fabulous freezer meal.

Grilled Corn on the Cob

This is one of my best tricks to grilling corn on the cob. It keeps the corn moist but also adds a nice light char if done right. Use this method on how to cook corn on the grill at your next BBQ!

Balsamic Herb Grilled Chicken

Freezer Friendly Balsamic Herb Grilled Chicken is moist, tender, and packed with flavor through and through. This easy grilling recipe can be turned into a freezer meal and is a great recipe for groups of people. What more can you ask for in a chicken recipe!?

Grilled Pork Tenderloin

When you grill a pork tenderloin instead of bake it, you still get the flavor and moistness but the bonus is the extra char-crispiness that coats the outside of the tenderloin. Using the 7-6-5 method to grill pork tenderloin is a no-fail method that you’ll come back to over and over again.

Bacon Wrapped Shrimp & Pineapple Kabobs

Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp and Pineapple Kabobs are every bit as tasty as they sound. The sweetness of grilled fresh pineapple pairs perfectly with the smoky saltiness of the bacon. Serve with St. James Winery’s newest Strawberry Rosé and a light salad for a delightful summer meal.
