Grilling Season In Full Swing

In case you didn't realize it the grilling season officially kicked off this past weekend. For me it was a sausage fest. Sometimes all you need are a package of Shop Rite spicy italian sausages, peppers and onions and some buns. I just can't buy enough of Shop Rite's italian sausages. If you catch them on the right day you can even get them for $2/lb. I had a bunch of buddies coming over and no better way to feed them than with a dozen of these bad boys. All I did to cook them using indirect heat for about 30 minutes. As for the peppers and onions, I sliced them, and wrapped them up in tin foil with a little olive oil and a sprinkle of kosher salt. 30 minutes on the grill was all they needed.

Though the above spread would have been enough, I decided to whip up a quick chili as well.

Ingredients:

1) Pound of ground beef
2) Diced onion
3) Powdered Spices (to taste): Garlic, Cumin Powder, Paprika Powder, Chili
4) Can of tomato paste
5) Can of dark red kidney beans
6) Salt to taste
7) 1-2 Teaspoons of sugar. This cuts through the tomato paste taste a bit.

Sautee the beef and onions. Be sure to drain off any excess fat. Add the rest of the ingredients and a spalsh of water. All I did was let that cook for 15 minutes.

  2. Yum. You made me hungry. I'm excited about barbecue season kicking off again. Of course, I grill all year, but it's nice when it's warmer and lots of other people are also grilling.
