Once the mercury climbs above 70°F, we want to cook everything out on the grill. But when steamy summer really sets in, with the sprinkler swinging back and forth and a watermelon chilling in the fridge, grilling season is really here.
Maybe you fire up the grill because it’s too dang hot to cook inside, or because there’s virtually no cleanup, or because everything seems to taste better with a lick of smoke on it. Or maybe you’re setting up a grill for the first time, whether in your yard or in a park plot you’ve claimed as your own for the afternoon. Whatever brings you to the grill this summer, these 15 recipes—all majorly cheesy, thanks to Sargento® Creamery Shreds & Slices, which is made with added real cream for an amazing melt—that will keep you coming back to it.
