Grilled Potato Salad

Cooking spice-rubbed potatoes in bacon drippings creates an unforgettable companion for beef. The side dish only gets tastier by mixing in bacon, onions, and a simple creamy dressing.

Grilled Corn in the Style of Oaxaca

Give summer corn a smoky taste from the grill, but don’t stop there for a special occasion meal. Spread the crisp hot corn with our creamy mayo mixture, salty Parmesan, and spicy chili powder.
