How do I prepare food ahead of time?
Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your barbecue:
- Make sure you've planned out your menu at least a week ahead of the party. There's nothing worse than trying to figure out what to cook the day before.
- Keep the menu simple by preparing burgers, hot dogs, and grilled chicken.
- Ask your guests to bring a side dish or salad. That way you only have to focus on the grilled meat.
- Try to do as much prep work as possible ahead of time. Chopping vegetables, marinating meats, and making side dishes can all be done the day before. This will free up your time on the day of the barbecue so that you can relax and enjoy yourself.
- Finally, don't forget to prepare a few of my 4th of July Dip Recipes for your guests to nibble on while the main course is grilling.
Summer Side Dishes for BBQ
To get the most out of your grill, it's important to have a few good side dishes on hand. Potato salad, coleslaw, and baked beans are all classic barbecue fare, but there are endless possibilities when it comes to sides.
Grilled vegetables, fruit salads, and even dessert can all be cooked on the grill. Remember that the sides can be just as important as the main event.
