When I have a cookout, I like to cook the whole meal on the grill. I don’t like to be in the kitchen working over the stove while everyone else is in the back yard having a party without me.
Serve this delicious grill-top “au gratin” recipe from the United States Potato Board with your favorite meat on the grill. The bacon and bell pepper add great color and texture. The best part about this recipe is the minimal prep, and low clean up, so it’s perfect for a backyard party.
