11 meals in less than 11 minutes for a busy New Year
The New Year is in full swing and most of us are faced with a brand new year of busy schedules and trying to fit family meals in where we can. It’s difficult, particularly at the start of a New Year, to get dinner organized and get the whole family around the table for a delicious, healthy meal together.
To help get great meals on the table that your whole family can enjoy, George Foreman presents 11 main dishes you can cook in less than 11 minutes. Simply add a side of rice, a salad or your favorite side dish, for phenomenally quick and healthy meals that your family will love to gather around the table to eat.
#1 Family Burger Night
Instead of hitting up a fast food joint or restaurant chain, why not bring hamburger night home with your George Foreman Grill? You knock out the fat for a healthier meal, have the ability to let your family top the burgers with all of their favorite toppings and best of all, the burgers are done in 4-6 minutes, depending on how you like your burger cooked.
#2 Chicken a la George
You can cook up a batch of chicken breasts for the family on your George Foreman grill in 11 minutes. Brush on some BBQ sauce before you grill and serve a little extra on the side to liven up the meal or marinade the chicken ahead of time in your favorite marinade for your own distinctive flavor.
#3 Steak Night Done Right
Skip getting dressed up and heading out to an expensive steak house for your family steak night. Instead, try cooking up NY strip steaks right at home on your George Foreman grill. The steaks finish cooking in 6-8 minutes, depending on how you like your steak cooked.
#4 Knock Out Pork Chops
An American comfort food classic, pork chops are practically a staple of any family dinner meal plan. On your George Foreman grill, you can grill up your chops and have them on the table in 4-6 minutes with less fat for a healthy, delicious meal.
#5 Make it Simple with Shrimp
One of the quickest meals you can do, even on your George Foreman Grill, shrimp only take 3-4 minutes to cook. If you’re short on time, but still want to get the family together, this is a must try. You can preseason or marinade the shrimp ahead of time if you have a free minute earlier in the day or simply serve them with your favorite dipping sauce.
#6 Be a Dinner Hero with Hot Dogs
While it may not be your idea of a 5-star dinner, your kids will put you up for parent of the year with freshly grilled hot dogs, maybe even with a side of mac & cheese. You can knock out some of the fat and have the meal ready in 5 minutes.
#7 Salmon Steaks at Home
If you’re looking for a really healthy, quick and easy meal for your family, try some salmon steaks for your next family dinner. Your family gets a healthy dose of Omega 3 and you finish cooking in 7-9 minutes.
#8 Breakfast for Dinner
If you’re a fan of doing breakfast for dinner, then cook it up fast on your George Foreman grill. Sausage patties and links cook up in 4-6 minutes and thick-cut bacon cooks up in just 6-8 minutes. You save time because you don’t have to flip the food like you do in a pan and you make a healthier breakfast, too.
#9 Punch it up with Panini
If you’re looking for something a little different for dinner, try making your favorite Panini sandwiches at home. They cook in 3-4 minutes, making them a fast, easy meal at home that rivals your favorite bistros and restaurants.
#10 Bring It with Beef Kabobs
If you want to kick it up a notch from just a plain piece of steak, then put together some beef cubes with your favorite veggies and grill up some great kabobs for dinner in 5-7 minutes.
#11 Spice Up Your Night with Quesadillas
If you want to add a little Tex-Mex into the mix, simply stuff some quesadillas with your favorite ingredients—from steak and chicken, to mushrooms and spinach—fold the tortillas in half and put the fold facing the front of your George Foreman grill. The quesadillas cook in just 2-3 minutes, so you can even cook a few different batches for a variety of tastes.
