Father’s Day Grilling Recipes​: A Father’s Day Cookout for the Real MVP

Father’s Day is the perfect time to fire up the grill, get the team together, and celebrate a real MVP. Between cooking delicious bites to figuring out ways to have some good ol’ fashioned fun, building a legendary lineup for Father’s Day can be tricky.

However, no matter what your dad’s a fan of, one thing is darn certain: he loves winners like Litehouse’s #1 refrigerated ranch. Full of flavor with zero frills, Litehouse has all the fixins, tips, and tricks to help you this Father’s Day. But just to make sure you score big with pops, we’ve put together a 3-step game plan on how to build the perfect barbecue buffet. Between our recommendations of food, fun, and feel-good music, you’ll be keeping the good times rolling all day long!

FUN FOR THE FAM
Before you chow down on a delicious barbecue spread, have a field day with the fam. Pull out your corn hole set, toss around the ol’ pigskin, or challenge each other to a friendly (or not so friendly) game of Horse. Feel like taking your dad back to his days as a kid? Try out potato sack relays, three-legged races, and tug of war. Just remember, no matter who takes gold home at the end of the day, be sure to tell your dad that he’s always a winner!

FAN-FAVORITE FEAST

No dad can play on an empty stomach, which is why we have a mighty fine roster of mains, must-have sides, and melt-in-your-mouth desserts. Fuel up for fun with Litehouse’s fan-favorite recipes.

Super simple and sensational, our Grilled French Chicken is perfect for cooking amateurs and grill masters. Just marinade the chicken in our Sweet French Style Dressing for 24 hours, plop on the grill, and boom: you’ve got yourself a downright delicious dish your dad will love. Pro-tip: grilling low and slow is the secret strategy for getting a sticky, smoky char that’s real tasty.

What’s tot to like with our Loaded Tater Tot Nachos? This recipe combines tater tots with guacamole, bacon, and Litehouse’s Homestyle Ranch to create a savory, creamy combination that will knock your taste buds out of the park!

For a sweet finish, whip up a batch of Chocolate Brownie Parfaits. This recipe’s got layers and layers of good stuff: fudgy brownie chunks meet homemade chocolate whipped cream and fresh berries to make a delicious dessert worth loosening your belt for. Great for beginners and ready in 35 minutes, these parfaits are a Father’s Day Staple — so don’t fumble the winning play!

FEEL GOOD MOVING AND GROOVING

Picking the perfect gift for a dad is like trying to find a needle in a haystack—it can be too darn difficult. Instead of scouring catalogs or buying a tie for the third year in a row, give your dad a gift that comes from the heart. For this Father’s Day barbecue, put together a playlist of the songs your dad can’t get enough of. Rock, hip-hop, country, pop – lift his spirits up while you get down on the dance floor.

PLAN LIKE A PRO TO CELEBRATE A CHAMPION

Whether your dad likes a grilling good time, is the king of corn hole, or is a sucker for a brownie parfait, this guide helps you celebrate dad’s big day in the best kind of way: with good food, even better company, and a whole lotta love.
