Recipes #4 and #5: Grilled Veggies and Hamburgers!

Hot, sunny, summer days = the need to grill in the Plunkett household! Will does most of the actual grilling, while I do some of the set up, however today he took total charge of the burgers and they were AMAZING!

But first, the veggies. Today we only did onions and potatoes, but if I have it on hand, we have probably tried it on the grill at some time or another!

Cut up the veggies, I usually do the potatoes and onions in thin round slices. I put each vegetable in its own ziploc, add a little olive oil and then whatever herbs I want. My go to is always rosemary and I picked some from the bush in my yard to add in. I have used thyme or dill with onions before, that was good too. When I do mushrooms I usually drizzle soy sauce on them instead of olive oil and add sesame seeds. That is pretty good! Green peppers are great too. Corn on the cob is fabulous, just put a little butter on it before grilling. Asparagus is also great!
Be sure to get a grill pan so nothing falls through. Grill until they are soft or burnt to your liking! :)

Next recipe, Will's amazing hamburgers. This is your basic burger, done to perfection!

• Get your ground beef out. shape to the size of your your choice. 
• Once they are all shaped, make a little well in the top of each burger. 
• Will added some salt, pepper, olive oil, and seasoning to the well. (We use Webers gourmet burger seasoning, when that finishes we will probably try out some other seasonings, but that is delicious!) 
• Stick on the grill at about 450 for about 4-5 and flipped them, then continue flipping them every so often until they are nice and done!

It was WONDERFUL!
