Whether you call it autumn or football season, there’s no doubt that this time of year was made for grilling! The weather has cooled off enough to make sitting on the deck while dinner smokes nearby the ideal evening activity. If you ask us, everything is better cooked on the grill. And while there’s nothing like a juicy burger fresh off the grill, if you’d like to spice things up, try these out-of-the-ordinary recipes on your grill.

Smoked Chicken Queso by Green Mountain Grills

Chips and dip are the quintessential game-day snack. But next time you want to impress your family or friends, leave the store-bought onion dip in the fridge and serve this impressive grilled queso with smoked chicken and green chiles instead. With a whole chicken in the dip, it could be a meal on its own. Watch this video by Jim Elser for Green Mountain Grills® to see how it’s done. 

Detroit-Style Pizza with Grilled Cheese Crust by Green Mountain Grills

Have you ever had pizza on the grill? No kidding, it’s one of the easiest and tastiest things to whip up. We’re not bagging on pre-made, grocery store pizza dough that comes in a tube, but it usually doesn’t hold a candle to delivery pizza. However, if you grill that same dough directly on your grill grates — well, suddenly you’ve created something delicious. Next time pizza is on the dinner menu, you’ve got to try it cooked on your grill. 

Premade pizza dough makes a quick weeknight meal, but if you’ve got some time to make your own dough, you can enjoy a next-level dinner. Pizza-expert Matt Frampton shows you how easy making homemade pizza dough can be in this recipe for Detroit Style Pizza with Grilled Cheese Crust, courtesy of Green Mountain Grills.  

Do you currently have a grill that inspires you to try out-of-the-ordinary recipes, or is it time to put your old grill out to pasture? If it’s time for a new one, there’s nothing better than a Green Mountain Wood-Fired Pellet Grill! Let’s talk; we’d love to show you these amazing grills up close.
