Grill Meal Prep Recipes

Aug 17, 2020 · 2 Comments

Grill Meal Prep Recipes

When we start up the grill, we cook a whole lot of things!  It’s so easy to  prepare grill meal prep recipes in no time at all.  In this post, I’m going to share what we grill and what meals we make with all of that delicious food.  I’m even including a grocery shopping list! My favorite thing this entire summer has been to grill once, eat all week!

What we grill:

  • Burgers or chicken breasts
    • When we choose to grill burgers, I always buy 1 box of BUBBA burgers and use my burger seasoning. You could buy any pre-formed burgers or create them from ground beef/turkey/chicken.
    • For chicken, I use my yogurt marinated chicken recipe from my 5-ingredient cookbook. If you don’t have the book you can buy it here or find the chicken recipe in this post.
  • Chicken Italian sausages
    • We make 1 package of 4 sausages
  • 4 ears of corn
  • Balsamic grilled vegetables
    • I like to use a mixture of mushrooms, bell peppers, onions or really whatever combination of vegetables you have on hand!
    • Find the recipe here.
  • 2 sweet potatoes for grilled sweet potatoes.

Grill meal prep recipes

All of the above foods make a total of 10 servings, or 5 meals for 2 adults.  Along with the 2 main proteins (we do either 6 chicken breasts or burgers and chicken sausages, total of 10 pieces of meat), we always enjoy two vegetable side dishes, 2 of the following:

  • grilled balsamic vegetables
  • grilled corn
  • grilled green beans
  • grilled broccoli
  • grilled sweet potato fries

And, if you aren’t looking to eat the delicious balsamic vegetables, all you need are these basic things to grill up any side vegetable dish:

  • a few glugs of EVOO
  • 2 garlic cloves, pressed
  • salt, pepper and oregano

Grill meal prep recipes

Instead of just cooking plain burgers or plain chicken, I love using my latest seasoning mixes on either of the proteins!

  • Easy burger seasoning mix
  • BBQ chicken seasoning – which is also great on pork!

On the side, or on top, we love to use these sauces:

  • Remoulade sauce
  • 5 ingredient magic green sauce

And lastly, here are a few other things we buy to round out the meals:

  • Buns for burgers and chicken sausages
  • Cheese for burger topping and/or for sausage rolls
  • Marinara sauce
  • Bag of greens

Grill meal prep recipes

Here are the complete meals we make all week with everything we’ve grilled:

  1. Meal 1: Burger, cheese, bun, remoulade sauce, sweet potato fries, grilled vegetables
  2. Meal 2: Chicken sausage, cheese, marinara sauce, vegetable side
  3. Meal 3: 1/2 burger, 1/2 chicken sausage, sweet potato, 2 vegetable sides
  4. Meal 4: Chicken sausage and vegetables over greens with remoulade sauce or green sauce
  5. Meal 5: ‘Tapas’ grilled edition: we use whatever leftovers we have and call it ‘tapas’.  We use our dipping sauces on the side.

We have had so much fun eating this way all summer long.  I get so sad when it gets a bit too cold in Wisconsin to keep grilling.  This is the easiest way to meal prep!

And, of course if there weren’t enough ideas above, you can take these last few tidbits too:

  • We use our grilled chicken on salads or in various ‘bowl’ recipes with rice and vegetables.
  • Another great side option is polenta

With end of school and life business, May was actu With end of school and life business, May was actually a slower reading/listening month than I’ve had in a while. I read/listened to 4 books this month, and they were all romancy books 💕
Meet Me At The Lake - 5/5. I loved Carley Fortunes first book Every Summer After (one my favorites ever) and her next book did not disappoint. I liked it a smidge less than her first one, but it was an all around good book!
Yours Truly - 4/5. If you’ve ever had anxiety, this book does a great job of having characters with crippling anxiety and describes it well. I did feel like some of this was very repetitive and just wanted the story to move a little faster. And have the good parts be a little longer.
Romantic Comedy - 3.5/5. This book got a TON of hype and tbh I’m not quite sure it lived up to it, it didn’t for me. It was just ok!
The Spanish Love Deception - 4/5 – I thought this was super cute, but again, a little too long to get to the good part of the story, I had to skip a few beginning chapters, but overall cute!
