Get-together or not, Memorial Day is always a great time to fire up the grill and enjoy some tasty food.

We've put together a list of some of our favorite memorial day recipes to enjoy this weekend, including main courses, side dishes, desserts, and drinks.

And if we're lucky, maybe the sun will show up to the party too!

All-American Hamburgers with Red Onion Compote

One of the best Memorial Day staples is a good old-fashioned burger.

Red onion compote adds a unique element to this otherwise very classic American hamburger.

As always, if you want to go meatless, you can always swap out the beef for your favorite plant-based patty.

Smoked Beef Ribs with Salt and Pepper

There's not a BBQ recipe that's much simpler than salt, pepper, and a dash of hot sauce.

Ribs are slathered with hot sauce before being sprinkled with whole ground peppercorns and salt. The ribs are then smoked in a charcoal grill with a chimney or a smoker box in a gas grill.

Keeping it simple really lets the flavor of the smoky beef ribs come through.

Simple Smoked Chicken

Grilled chicken is another dish that you'll often find at Memorial Day barbecues.

It's flavorful, fairly easy to make, and when it's done correctly, it is perfectly tender.

Don't have a smoker? No problem. This recipe can be made on the stovetop with a wok, a steaming basket, and of course, your choice of wood chips.

Crosshatch Hot Dogs on Grilled Croissants

Another Memorial Day staple is hot dogs!

Crosshatching your dogs ahead of time and glazing them in a sweet and savory sauce ahead of time allows for the extra flavor to soak in.

Also, consider swapping out hot dogs for some of the house-made brats that we have available in the meat department!

Nashville-Style Hot Chicken

Another quintessential American summer food is grilled chicken. Bon Appetit's take on Nashville-Style Hot Chicken calls for 6, yes, 6, tablespoons of cayenne.

If you want it a little more tame, just cut the cayenne a bit.

This spicy and flavorful chicken would pair perfectly with some cooling potato salad and ripe, juicy watermelon.

Pastured Pork Ribs with Smoky Blackberry Barbecue Sauce

Here's a less traditional take on ribs that incorporates a more complex sauce than just salt, pepper, and hot sauce.

The barbecue sauce includes both sweet blackberries and spicy chipotles in adobo to create a well-rounded flavor combination.

Serve these sweet and spicy ribs with some fresh blackberries on top and a cooling cucumber salad on the side.
