Do you need some meal planning inspiration? Here’s a roundup of seven quick and tasty summer BBQ recipes.

7 Quick and Tasty Summer BBQ Recipes

We love to grill! In fact, I’m pretty sure the hubs would grill year-round if it weren’t for those pesky Midwest winters. So now that it’s summertime and we are spending a lot of time on our patio, our weekly meal plan is packed full of grilling recipes.

What I love most about grilling, besides the lack of dirty dishes, is that you can grill just about anything from burgers to pizza! Below are some of our favorite summer BBQ recipes.

Sticky Honey Lime Grilled Chicken

Sweet, tangy, and oh so good, this sticky honey lime grilled chicken recipe from Carrian and Cade at Oh, Sweet Basil is honestly one of the BEST grilled chicken recipes. The recipe calls for chicken thighs, but the honey lime sauce is equally delicious on breast meat and wings. Pair it with fresh corn or a salad for a quick and healthy meal.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin

Tender, juicy, and ready in under 30 minutes? Yes, please! This grilled pork tenderloin recipe from Kristin at Iowa Girl Eats checks all of the essential, summer, recipe boxes. Paired here with grilled squash, we also love fresh green beans as an alternative side dish.

Marinated Steak Kabobs

Nebraskans love their beef, and our family is no exception. These flavorful steak kabobs from Krista at Joyfully Healthy Eats are simple and delicious. Healthy vegetables like peppers, onions, and mushrooms make this recipe a complete meal that’s ready in just a matter of minutes! 

Grilled BBQ Chicken Pizza

You haven’t really had pizza until you’ve had pizza on the grill. This grilled bbq chicken pizza recipe from Kristyn at Lil’ Luna is one of our family’s favorites. With carbs, cheese, and bacon, what’s not to love? It’s the perfect summer comfort food!

Sausage, Potato, and Green Bean Foil Packets

If you love crockpot recipes, then you’ll love these sausage, potato, and green bean foil packets recipe from Chunga at Damn Delicious. Just prep the packets, toss them on the grill, and voila! Dinner is served.

Raise your hand if you enjoy a good burger? If you said yes, then you need to add this bacon cheddar ranch turkey burger from Parrish at Life With The Crust Cut Off to your grilling rotation. It’s a guilty-pleasure meal, but so worth it.

Steak Fajitas
