It is as easy to grill corn for a crowd as it is for your family. Just double the recipe as needed and put 4-5 per foil packet. I love these corn cob holders for serving. I especially love that they snap together for storage.

Delicious Side Dishes to Grill

Must- try sides for your next meal on the grill. Easy to prepare and these delicious sides go with everything!

The corn will steam inside the foil packet and the garlic butter seeps into every crevice of the corn, making it so tender and flavorful. It’s one of the best side dishes that we’ve made on the grill.

Corn on the cob is going to be on the menu all summer long with our favorite burgers, grilled ribeyes, and chicken recipes.
