Hamburgers on the grill, often beside steak, chicken, and hot dogs. Turkey or beef burgers grill equally well. If enough food is grilled at one time, it will fill the fridge with meals for a week. Most vegetables can be grilled easily in a grill safe aluminum pan or a foil packet. Baked beans, squash, and green beans are the easiest grill vegetables. Corn on the cob isn't as easy because it takes longer than the meat to cook. Sometimes, foil packets are placed directly on the coals. However, they can catch fire as grease, butter, or water drip out.
