What do you make as side dishes for a BBQ? Just a couple of close friends coming.?!
INGREDIENTS
8 ears corn, husk and silk removed
1 1/2 tablespoons macadamia nut oil
1/2 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon crushed rosemary
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
Soak corn in cold water for 1 to 3 hours.
Stir together macadamia nut oil and melted butter in a bowl. Season with garlic, rosemary, sage, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper; stir in Parmesan cheese.
Drain corn and pat dry. Spread butter mixture evenly over each ear of corn, and place each piece on a square of aluminum foil. Tightly wrap each ear and puncture to allow excess steam to escape while grilling.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
Grill the corn cobs until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes, turning frequently. Remove from the grill and check for doneness; if the corn is not done, continue cooking an additional 5 minutes.

You cant go wrong with Corn on the Cob its very yummy on the grill
you might also think about coleslaw, chips, veggies, potato salad that picnic kind of stuff
You could make or buy cole slaw, corn niblets or corn on the cob, roasted, fried or baked potatoes (with sour cream), cucumber salad, or sliced tomatoes and basil.
Potato salad is a must.
Corn on the cob.
And apple pie a la mode for dessert (scoop of ice cream on top).
The old stand by: Cole slaw! And I like to have different toppings for the burgers to spice it up. Avocado, salsa, different cheeses, even pineapple with BBQ sauce. Have fun!
My absolute favorite potato salad is very easy to make and oh so good! It'd go PERFECT with your BBQ! I take about 10 new pototoes don't worry about peeling them, adjust this if you need more or less, scrub them up, quarter them and boil them until they're soft. Drain and lightly salt and pepper. Next, I add about oh say about a cup, cup and a half of mayo or miracle whip, whichever you prefer. I really kind of eyeball the amount I use, so enough to make it creamy. Then add some dijon mustard, about 1/4 cup. Then I take a small bunch of green onions and chop them up and throw that in and my secret ingredient is a tablespoon of HONEY. Mix that all together. I'd make it about a day or so ahead to let the flavors combine. You can mush the potatoes if you like, but I like to leave them quartered and have a nice chunky salad. A nice side salad made with mixed greens, dried cranberries, feta cheese and vinagrette dressing would go nicely with that as well :)
We like corn on the cob, green beans, baked beans, potato salad and cole slaw. Hot biscuits and/or corn bread.
Pork & Beans
Corn Slaw
Corn
Husk some corn still on the ear and then wrap in foil with a pat of butter and some salt and pepper - throw it on just before the meats and you should be golden! If you're tired of American potato salad (you know- mayo, mustard, etc...) try German potato salad. Slice the potatoes rather than the usual large dice, and boil until tender. Then, drain and put them in a bowl and add a splash of olive oil, a splash of vinegar, a small splash of pickle juice, chopped onion, chopped pickle, salt and pepper to taste, and then let it rest in the fridge for a day. Good stuff, Maynard!
Coleslaw , baked beans, steak fries, potatoe chips, corn on hte cob, salad and french bread.
Everyone said these already but:
Corn on the cob is a must
Potato or macaroni salad
or coleslaw
Cornbread or fresh rolls
Grilled vegetables like eggplant, zuccini, onions, green and red peppers.
Baked beans.
Grill some shrimp as appetizers, squirt with some lemon juice and spinkle with herbs.
If you want a conversation piece try BBQ beer can chicken. Take a whole chicken, rub spice or glaze it however you normally would for a BBQ and shove an open beer can up its butt. The beer occasionaly boils over basting the chicken.
the sides you see most, are cole slaw, potato salad, french fries, and baked beans. try homemade mashed potato's, tomato soup {with different toppings}, a fruit salad, and peach pie for dessert. chips are often used, but its overdone.
This would be different. If you like Caesar salad, you'll love this:
1 pkg pre-made coleslaw
1/4-1/2 cup shredded parmesean cheese
1/2 pkg caesar croutons
1 bottle creamy caesar dressing
Toss first three ingredients together. Add enough dressing to coat. It's even good the next day!
Baked beans &
Macaroni Salad
Pasta salad
Corn on cob
Cole slaw
Potato salad
Take your pick all are good
Potato salad, and baked beans
