Like many people out there, we absolutely love our Traeger grill! That smokey flavor always takes meals to the next level. This list of the best Traeger recipes came about because we had been focusing on just a few meats that we really enjoyed, but knew there had to be more uses and more creative recipes to explore. So we scoured the interwebs and did TONS of research to make this comprehensive list of what we consider to be the best Traeger recipes out there. You’ll find everything from meats and sides to veggies, and even desserts and pizzas!
If you’re new to Traeger grilling or interested in getting started, we highly recommend the following products:
- Traeger Grills Pro Series 22 – This is one of their less expensive models that doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the higher end Traeger grills, but it still does the job exceptionally well and is perfect if you’re just getting your feet wet when it comes to pellet grills and smoking.
- Traeger Grills Pro Series 780 – If you want to step your game up and get the added benefit of smartphone app connectivity to get notifications and control the grill from anywhere, this is the one for you.
- Traeger Grills Ironwood 885 – And if you’re looking for near-top-of-the-line quality that will give you the grill capacity, state of the art technological features, and quality without breaking the bank, you need to check the 885 out!
