No matter what you have planned this weekend, we hope that food is at the center of it. Our menu includes crowd-pleasing mains like grilled steak and pulled pork, standout sides like an elevated mac and cheese, and even a semi-homemade dessert. Best of all, they require minimal prep so you can focus on getting out of the kitchen. Follow our plan and walk away with plenty of time to soak up the last of summer.
What to cook this week
Whether you’re a mayo hater or just want to try something new, you (and your guests) will love this mustardy potato salad. Because it has no eggs or dairy in it, you don't have to worry that it will go bad while sitting out.
Don’t panic about feeding a crowd at your cookout or game-day party with this set-it-and-forget-it meal. Just prep the meat with spices and toss it in a slow cooker with your favorite barbecue sauce. The best part? You won’t miss a single play while it cooks.
End grilling season on a high note with this simple grilled steak. The bright and herby chimichurri sauce is a perfect foil to the smoky charred meat. And even though it looks (and tastes) impressive, it comes together in just 20 minutes so you can spend more time with your guests.
If regular mac and cheese feels like too much cream for a hot summer day, lighten things up with some fresh summer corn. This mac is great as a cookout side or can star as the main for an easy and comforting, family-friendly weeknight dinner.
