Sunday Night Dinner - Kippy Burgers and Grilled Parmesean Corn

This is shaping up to 5 post kind of day!  Oh my goodness!  That's a lot!  Well, as promised, here's a spotlight blog on one of the meals I made today (although to be quite fair, Michael is The Grill Master, so he made tonight's dinner, but you know what I mean).  ;)

Kippy Burgers
This is a recipe straight out of the firestation, although I've changed it slightly over the years.  Normally I just dump stuff in, but since people are asking for recipes, I tried to quantify things.  Some adjustments will have to be made, but you'll get the idea.  ;)

1.5 lbs 80/20 Ground Beef (not nearly as healthy, but when it comes to grilled burgers Guy says 80/20 is the only way to go)
2 tbsp BBQ Sauce (this wasn't enough, probably needs to be upped to 1/4 cup)
1 tbsp Yellow Mustard
1 tbsp Worchestershire Sauce
1 tbsp Dried Minced Onion
1 tbsp Brown Sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt (not enough, probably 3/4 - 1tsp needed)
1/4 tsp pepper

Mix everything together, form into 6 patties, grill.  :)  Easy peasy!

Grilled Parmesean Corn
I changed a recipe I found on Pinterest to get this recipe.  It was good, but also needs some adjustments.

4 ears of corn
2.5 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup Parmesean cheese
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Shuck corn, put 4 ears of corn onto a large sheet of aluminum foil.
Combine all other ingredients in bowl, spoon over corn, cover in foil to make a packet.
Cook over indirect heat 30-35 minute, approximately 400 degrees.

Michael flipped the corn and the cheese ended up sticking to the foil, I think if you don't flip it, it would turn out better.  Because of this, there wasn't much of the toppings on our corn, so I don't know if the proportions were right or not, but the corn was cooked all the way through, so that was good.  :)

Dinner was delicious tonight!  Not the healthiest meal we've ever eaten, but it tasted good and it wasn't too bad.  We love grilling and do a lot of it during the summer.  For a lighter meal try grilling chicken breast or fish.  Enjoy!
