This plan is for when you want to keep the oven off, the flavor big, and dinner out on the patio. You can cook any of these meals on the grill. There’s a mix of meats and seafood, so it doesn’t feel repetitive, and even dessert gets the grill treatment (hello, peaches). Bonus: minimal cleanup and indoor heat.

In This Meal Plan

We’re kicking things off with juicy bacon cheeseburgers (because it’s not summer without them). Then come chipotle pork ribs, bold, saucy, and slow-grilled to perfection.

You’ll also find grilled mahi mahi for a lighter night, plus Santa Maria tri tip that’s smoky and richly seasoned. Cedar plank trout brings a mellow wood-fired finish to the week, and grilled peaches are the easiest way to make dessert feel fancy without any fuss.

If you want to toss in some slow cooker recipes, you might like our Summer Dinners with Grill and Crock Pot recipes.
