A cookout is a great way for the family to spend time with dad on Father’s Day. Not only will he enjoy it, but it’s a treat for the whole family.
There’s not many things better than some old-fashioned family time, good food, and good vibes on a summer day.
Ideas for easy-to-prepare Father’s Day cookout foods include:
Grilled Foods:
The grill should be your cooking device of choice when it comes to cookouts, no matter which type you choose (charcoal, gas, smoker, etc.). Common grilled cookout foods include:
- Steaks
- Burgers
- Sausage
- Boudin
- Hotdogs
Boiled Foods:
In place of or in supplement to grilled foods, boiled foods can be a delicious part of your cookout experience. Common boiled cookout foods include:
- Crawfish
- Shrimp
- Corn and Potatoes
Dips:
Dips are a great way to add some flavor to your cookout meal. They contribute to the fun “backyard” finger-food experience. Common cookout dips include:
- Salsa and Queso
- Garlic and Herb Dip
- Bean Dip
- Spinach Dip
Drinks:
Keep in mind that it’s June, which is a hot month in Southeast Texas. So keeping ice cold drinks on-hand is a must for any summer cookout. Common cookout beverages include:
- Iced Tea
- Lemonade
- Soda
