FANTASTIC GRILLED CORN ON THE COB
This is so delicious, and is just perfect for any barbecue that your are having. You can substitute Barbecue sauce for the cheese and butter for a different flavor. Another different flavor is substituting Sun-Dried tomato and Oregano Dressing for the cheese and parsley. You can remove the hot foil-wrapped corn from the barbecue and stack on a platter and let the guests select and, de-foil and butter, their ear of corn when they desire. This will help the corn to stay warm longer.
