Forget about dieting. Add some extra fat to your burgers at your next tailgate.

- 4 Large Lettuce Leaves
- Sliced Cheese of Choice
By hand, mix ground beef, Worcestershire Sauce, seasoned salt, black pepper and egg yolks. Form burgers in ¾” thick patties (approx. ¼ lb. each). While forming burgers use your index and middle finger to create a “pocket” in the patty. Place one pat of butter into the burger and re-form burger (you have now effectively created the unhealthiest burger ever). Repeat the process to make 4 burgers.
Grill as desired. Add onion, lettuce, and tomato if you are feeling conscious about the extreme fat intake, or add your favorite to cheese to enhance your loyalty to an unhealthy lifestyle.

Beer Can Chicken
When simply drinking beer won’t suffice, add it to your chicken.
- 1 (4-pound) whole chicken
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons of Chicken Spice Rub listed above
- 1 can beer
Remove neck and giblets from chicken and discard. Rinse chicken inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Rub chicken lightly with oil then rub inside and out with salt, pepper and Chicken Spice Rub. Set aside.
Open beer can and drink or pour half of the can out so that half of the can remains. Place beer can on a solid surface. Grabbing a chicken leg in each hand, place the bird cavity firmly over the beer can so that it fits snuggly. Transfer the bird and can to the grill and place in the center of the grate, balancing the bird on its 2 legs and the can.
Cook the chicken over medium-high, indirect heat with the grill cover on for approximately 1.5-2 hours or until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F in the breast area and 180 degrees F in the thigh, or until the thigh juice runs clear. Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Bacon-wrapped Chicken
Try this simple recipe for an easy and creative way to grill chicken.
- 8 chicken tenders
- 8 pieces of maple bacon
- 1 tbsp. Seasoned Salt
Place chicken tenders onto 4 metal or water-soaked wood skewers (2 on each skewer). Sprinkle each with Seasoned Salt. Wrap each chicken tender with a piece of bacon and secure with toothpicks. Grill on medium-high grill for 10-15 minutes, flipping after 7-8 minutes.
Grilled Beef Kabobs
Meat on a stick!

- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoon corn oil
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon Uncle Phil’s Dijon Mustard
- 1 clove garlic -- minced
- 1-1/2 pounds lean round steak -- boneless
- 1 large green pepper

Let beef marinate over-night, or approximately 8 hours. Cut green pepper and onion into chunks, making at least 8 pieces of each. Remove beef cubes, making sure to retain the marinade. On 4 medium or long skewers, alternate pieces of meat and vegetables. Grill to desired doneness, or approximately 10-15 minutes, making sure to rotate and turn skewers every few minutes.

Beer BBQ
Make ribs with a special ingredient…beer!
- Pork ribs (as many as you want, but the recipe will accommodate approximately 2 slabs)
- 12 oz. beer of personal liking (but, darker beers work best!)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 garlic cloves – minced
Make marinade by mixing beer, sugar, onion, cooking oil, chili powder, and garlic. Add pork ribs to bowl, cover, and let marinade overnight, or approximately 8 hours. Remove pork from marinade. Grill pork ribs over medium-hot coals with cover on grill, rotating and basting occasionally. Make sure to cook ribs to an internal temperature of approximately 155 F or greater.
Appropriate condiment: None, these are fantastic as-is (however, you won’t be an outcast if you apply some BBQ sauce)
Garlic Chicken
A garlic lover’s dream.

Over a medium-hot grill, cook chicken drumsticks for approximately 20-25 minutes or until done (160 F internally), making sure to rotate and turn every 3-5 minutes.
