5 Easy Traeger Recipes For Beginners

You know what ended up being a great quarantine purchase? I mean besides my Crocs of course…a Traeger! I’ve been sharing my Traeger journey on my personal Instagram for almost a year, and last week when I shared the Traeger on We Women Of A Certain Age’s Instagram I learned a lot of ladies are getting Traegers for the spring. Since the the grill/smoker can be a little intimidating, I figured I would share some of the first recipes I made on mine. They’re easy recipes of us beginners, nothing about smoking a brisket for 18 hours, sorry!

Traeger Seasoned Potatoes

Potatoes have always been the vegetable of choice in my house, and yes I know they’re not really a vegetable. Mind your own business.

Flank Steak Carne Asada Tacos

I have made a variation of these tacos multiple times and they never disappoint. And leftovers are perfect for lunch bowls!

Shrimp Scampi Foil Packets

I love that everyone gets their own little packet of garlicy shrimp goodness. Added bonus is that you can adjust the seasoning in the packet for your picky eater.

Reverse Sear Tri Tip

I had never even heard of a tri tip before I got the Traeger and I’m legit bummed I went 40 years without this cut of meat. I’ve only been able to find it at Wegman’s, so any if any other fellow Massachusetts residents know where else I can go I’m all ears.

Huli Huli Chicken

Like going to the islands without having to risk your life in a plane full of stale Covid air!
