Easy Gas Grill Recipes Anyone Can Try for Tasty Meals

They're fast, easy to use, and always ready for action.

Whether you’re just learning the ropes or you’ve been flipping burgers for years, gas grilling makes outdoor cooking simple and fun.

In this guide, we’re sharing the best things to cook on a gas grill—and yes, everything here is doable, delicious, and perfect for all skill levels.

From juicy burgers to grilled fruit desserts, there’s something for everyone.

So fire up the grill and let’s get cooking!

Juicy Burgers

Burgers are a classic for a reason. 

They’re quick, tasty, and everyone loves them.

Try a simple seasoning of salt and pepper or get creative with garlic powder, smoked paprika, or even a bit of Worcestershire sauce. 

Toppings? Go wild. Think grilled onions, avocado, crispy bacon, or a fried egg.

• Pro tip: To get those perfect grill marks, make sure your grates are clean and your grill is nice and hot before placing the patties down. Flip only once and never press down on them—that just squeezes out the juicy goodness!

Grilled Chicken Breasts or Thighs

Chicken is a go-to for gas grilling because it cooks evenly and soaks up flavor like a sponge. 

Thighs stay extra juicy, but breasts are lean and great with marinades.

Some marinade ideas to try:

• BBQ sauce mixed with honey

• Lemon-herb (lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, thyme)

• Teriyaki with fresh ginger

Steaks for a Special Treat

Steak night?

Yes, please. Ribeye, sirloin, or strip—pick your favorite cut and grill it hot and fast.

Crank the heat up to high for a good sear, then let it rest under foil before slicing to keep those tasty juices inside. 

Keep it simple with salt and pepper or finish with a pat of garlic butter.

Veggie Skewers

Veggies are anything but boring on the grill. 

Skewers make them fun and colorful.

• Try this combo: bell peppers, red onions, zucchini, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with herbs like rosemary or thyme. Grill over medium heat until tender and slightly charred.

If your grill grates get messy with dripping veggies or cheese from the next section (hello, pizza!), clean-up is easy with the Easy Function wood grill scraper.

It’s made from pine wood and molds to your grill over time—eco-friendly and super effective!

Salmon or Other Fish Fillets

Fish on a gas grill? Absolutely. 

Salmon, trout, or even tilapia cook up beautifully with a little care.

Use foil or a grill mat to stop sticking and keep cleanup simple. 

A squeeze of lemon, a bit of dill, and a dash of salt and pepper are all you need.

Corn on the Cob

Corn on the cob is a summer favorite. 

You can grill it in the husk or straight on the grates.

Brush with butter and sprinkle with chili powder, parmesan, or lime zest for a tasty twist. 

Turn the corn every few minutes and avoid overcooking by removing it once the kernels are tender and just starting to brown.

Grilled Pizza

Pizza on the grill? It’s a game-changer. 

Grab some store-bought dough, stretch it out, and toss it right on the grill.

Let it cook for a couple of minutes, flip it, then add your toppings—cheese, sauce, veggies, whatever you love. 

Close the lid and let the cheese melt. Done!

Just remember to oil your grates to avoid sticking. 

And if cheese drips down and things get a little gunky, that’s where the Easy Function bristle-free grill brush with scraper shines.

It’s fast, safe, and helps keep your grill in top shape between pizzas and burgers.

Hot Dogs and Sausages

Hot dogs and sausages are perfect for a quick dinner. 

Kids love them, and you can dress them up for adults too.

Grill them over medium heat and turn often to avoid split casings. 

Want to level up? 

Try topping them with grilled peppers, sauerkraut, or even mac and cheese.

BBQ Ribs (Precooked or Low & Slow)

No smoker? No problem. 

You can make awesome ribs on a gas grill with a little shortcut.

Start with precooked ribs (check your grocery store), brush on your favorite BBQ sauce, and finish them on the grill over low heat. 

Let the sauce caramelize and form that perfect crust.

If you’re going low and slow from scratch, just keep one burner on low and the ribs on the other side. 

Patience = flavor.

Grilled Fruit for Dessert

Grilling fruit brings out its natural sweetness. 

Try pineapple rings, peach halves, or bananas.

Brush lightly with oil and grill over low heat. 

Add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon and serve with vanilla ice cream. 

Boom—grilled dessert magic.
