Everyone is always excited for summer and eating outdoors, grilling, etc but you can quickly run out of meal ideas. By late June the sound of burgers and hotdogs for dinner loses it’s exciting ring! Today I’m sharing some easy weeknight summer meals that will help switch up your regular summer grilling. These are all easy to make, no long recipes to follow and many ingredients you probably have on hand.

All three of these easy weeknight summer meals include burgers but switched up a bit and with fun, simple sides. One way I simplify summer meals is having some BUBBA burgers in the freezer. In the beginning of the summer, I stock up and store BUBBA burgers in our freezer. Then, when it’s time for dinner, they go right from the freezer to the grill and are ready in about 10 minutes. There’s no thawing needed so it’s super convenient. Enjoy quality time in no time with BUBBA burgers.
