Spring Break Snacks on Your Grill

The Best Spring Break Snacks on Your George Foreman Grill

For kids and college students, spring break is a whole week to just kick back and relax, but for moms it can mean a lot of extra meals and mouths to feed. College students come home, everyone has friends over and they’re (of course) all hungry for good home cooked food.

So how do you make everyone happy without spending your whole day cooking in the kitchen? It’s easy with your George Foreman grill! From crowd-pleasing burgers and hot dogs, to more interesting party fare, you can do a lot of meals on your George Foreman with minimal hassle and cleanup. That way, the kids and their friends get full and you still have time left in your day to do everything you need to get done.

Really, the nice thing about using your grill for spring break cooking is the minimal effort that it takes – one cooking surface to clean (even easier if you have removable plates that can be thrown in the dishwasher), minimal prep time to start and everything is typically done in under ten minutes. It’s just a matter of planning and buying ingredients for a few simple meals and you can be set for all those emergency Spring Break mealtimes that you know will pop up through the week.

For a regular George Foreman grill, here is a quick and easy top ten list of the best foods you can make to satisfy your Spring Break bunch:

 

1. Hamburgers / mini-burgers / sliders
2. Hot dogs
3. Grilled shrimp
4. Grilled chicken / steak sandwiches
5. BBQ steak bites
6. Kebabs
7. Bangers & mash / Bangers & mac (sausage and mashed potatoes, or substitute mac & cheese for a more kid-oriented meal)
8. Fajitas
9. Pork chops
10. Grilled cheese sandwiches  

If you have a multi-plate grill with a bake plate or other accessory plates, you have even more options to choose from. Here are some additional kid-friendly meals using some of the additional plates offered from George Foreman:

1. Pizza – classic pizza can be made using the pizza pan on your 360 Grill™
2. Quesadillas – used the 360 Grill™ quesadilla plates or the George Foreman Quesadilla Maker
3. Brownies – use the bake pan on the Kitchen Bistro™ Grill with a regular packaged brownie mix (may work with other bake plates, but you will need to adjust the size and cook time)
4. Lunch lasagna – you can make this with any George Foreman grill that has a deep-dish bake pan
5. Late breakfast – you can use the bake or griddle pan on any George Foreman grill to do sausage, eggs and pancakes; some grills also include waffle plates

No matter how many mouths you’ll have to feed, Spring Break cooking is just easier with a George Foreman grill. You can use the list provided and have the whole week’s worth of meals already planned, so you can make easy work of pleasing all the hungry kids at your house during their break.
