ADD SOME FRESH FLAVORS to your menu with these crowd-pleasing dishes. Easy to make and hearty enough to feed a house full of hungry guests, casseroles, stews and soups are even more delicious when made on the grill. All you need is a Dutch oven and a cast-iron skillet.
These dishes are the perfect place to use up leftover pork, beef or chicken from the recipes in other chapters to create a quick weeknight meal. Or double your favorite brisket recipe (the ones here and here are great options) to throw into enchiladas, a hearty stew made in a bread bowl or a layered Mexican lasagna. The homemade sausage here can be added to a breakfast egg and sausage bake, creamy casserole or savory frittata, adding another layer of grilled, smoky flavor to an already delicious meal.
Need a break from meat or have some vegetarians visiting? No problem. This chapter also features soup made from smoky baked potatoes, chowder made with char-grilled corn and, of course, the classic favorite, mac and cheese dressed up with your favorite BBQ rub.
With these recipes, you can let a casserole or stew bubble away on the grill while you enjoy time with your guests, then bring the smoldering hot skillet or Dutch oven directly to the table for a casual but filling meal.
