Refrigerate overnight ( or at least 4 hours).Recipes for yummy side dishes at a BBQ?
You can have corn, which you can put right on the grill in it's husk.





You can do potato salad, macorini salad, tomato sald (which is tomatos, cucumbers, red onions, oregano, basil, and olive oil, salt and pepper), baked beans, saurkraut,


and a regular green salad.





You can also have some tomatoes, red onion, and lettuce sliced up for people to put on their burgers. Also pickles too.
The absolute BEST baked beans ever - I guarantee it!





6 slices bacon


1 cup chopped onion


1 can pork %26amp; beans


1 can butter beans


1 can kidney beans


1 10-oz. package sharp cheddar cheese


3/4 cup brown sugar


1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce


1 cup ketchup





Fry and crumble bacon. Saute onion. Cut cheddar into 1/2'; cubes. Combine all ingredients in a 2-quart baking dish. Bake uncovered in a preheated 300 degree over for one hour.
easy veggie/pasta salad.





all you need:


cooked and cooled noodles (i use shell or spiral noodles)


brocolli, cauliflower, cucumber, bell peppers (i used green and red), carrots, radishes, purple onion





cut your veggies into bite sized pieces, toss w/ cooled noodles, add favorite creamy salad dressing. i often use Creamy Cucumber Ranch. i have also added shredded cheddar cheese to this as well.





My sister makes a variation of the same salad, using colored noodles,


adding small tomatoes artichoke hearts, olives %26amp; pimentos instead of bell peppers, bite size pepperoni pieces and tossed w/ an oil %26amp; vinegar dressing (like your favorite italian dressing).





It's sooo easy to make.
Healthy, easy and always a hit @ our BBQ's
