So I have a George Foreman Grill, now what?

I just recently discovered the joy that a George Foreman Grill can bring to a bachelor life. There's nothing like just throwing some pork chops on the thing, waiting six minutes, and then eating without the worry of clean up and all that.
Thing is, pork chops are really the only thing I cooked on them(I put some lemon herb and they are quite good), so I'm curious about anyone else that has used the grill before, what are your favorite recipes? Grocery shopping is coming up, so I'm hoping to pick up some new things.

They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.
Burgers
Hotdogs
Steak
Porkchops
Grilled, pressed sammiches
All of this and more. Just get a good solid pot to make side items and a microwave and you can make a TON of easy, cheap, delicious, and fast stuff.
Infact, i was going to use mine to make some in a few minutes.

Also for chicken breasts, I find rubbing them in olive oil and adding spices beforehand works pretty well with these grills.

Hell, just about anything from the freezer goes in there. Bags of fries, corn on the cob, anything that needs cooking that a microwave will fuck up.
Nom.
My favorites:
grilled cheese sandwiches (grilled ham & cheese, etc)
frozen hamburger patties + bacon (just put the bacon right on top of the frozen patty and put it in the grill)
chicken - good to cut up and throw on a salad, eat as a sandwich, or just plain chicken

As in, it doesn't need to be thawed?!
WHAT THE HELL HAVE I BEEN DOING?!?!?!
its awesome
I... holy crap I never thought of making bacon on the thing. >.<
To the OP: Pretty much anything that you can grill, AND BACON! You can make on a Foreman grill. Now I must go make bacon.
I have one of the Foreman grills that have different temps, I put them on medium... but got impatient and ate the bacon a little flimsy since I was having other things too. Should I cook em on high? Or will they burn? >.>
Depending on what it is, yeah.
Frozen hamburger patties, no problem. Frozen fish, sure.
Frozen steak, well... only if you like them burnt and dry as hell. Some people do.
Generally if its fairly thick, i will thaw it first. Despite the fact it cooks from the top and the bottom, i find it has a hard time cooking through stuff, especially if its fairly thick. Like chicken breasts or something like that. Otherwise you need to cook it for too long to get it cooked thoroughly, which leaves the food pretty dry.

Looking at the recipe guide, I thought the grill (we got one last month) was awesome enough as it was. With this knowledge, I am now unstoppable. Unstoppable.
Actually, how would one avoid drying out thick stuff like chicken breasts while still cooking it thoroughly?
I have also cooked entire frozen pizzas on mine but that was in an emergency where my oven was not working right.
I actually worked at work on Saturday. Also I went out on a date with a real life girl.

If you insist on keeping chicken breasts un-cut, bring them to room temperature before grilling.
Cook it on the medium setting and you should be fine.
I'm assuming the WTF is for the sandwich, not the "I hate bacon" part.

It's super awesome if you go with Nutella instead of peanut butter.
that's a very odd sandwich indeed...
Thanks for the tips. I'm afraid common sense isn't exactly one of my fortes.
Best way to make them, and if you rotate it near the end you can make diamond grill marks.
but they're listening to every word I say
