Trying to get back into grilling but I'm tired of the same old chicken breasts. What do you guys throw on there during the week when you don't have all day? Thinking something that cooks fast and doesn't require a ton of prep.
Ground beef is my go-to on school nights. Throw some burgers on there in 10 minutes and you're done. Plus the kids actually eat it, which is half the battle on a weeknight.
Thin-cut pork chops are your friend here. They cook fast, taste way better than plain chicken, and cost less than what I'd spend on takeout after work anyway.
Pork chops are your weeknight MVP. They cook fast, hard to mess up, and way less boring than chicken. Ten minutes on the grill and you're done. Throw some seasoning on there and you've got something that actually tastes good.
Ground beef burgers if you want to keep it simple. Throw them on for five minutes per side and dinner's ready. Or if you want to feel fancy but aren't spending an hour on it, marinated steak tips. Still quick and way better than plain chicken.

Honestly I rotate between pork chops, salmon, and beef skewers. All of them are on the grill for like fifteen minutes tops which is key when you've got hungry kids standing around. The salmon especially - my wife actually gets excited when I grill that.
