breaded lamb chops
Nothing like BBQ Chicken, BBQ Ribs, Corn on the Cob, Pork and Beans, and to top it off some Cornbread……………mmmmmmmmmm Sounds Good right;-)
Not so sure about the turkey. How about beer brats with onions, relish, mustard and sauerkraut. I would also have some unique burgers to choose from, a burger bar so to speak. Whole canned green chilies on burgers are fantastic as are jalapenos. Grilled red onions along with cheddar cheese, provolone and pepper jack.

How about some bourbon barbecued backed beans:

For dips get some seasoned hummus with pita chips, spinach dip in a bread bowl, fruit kabobs and veggie with dip, easy and most people like these items.
Desserts, brownies are easy and everyone loves them. If there are going to be kids there, get some Popsicles and or ice cream bars.
I have a great recipe for fudge topped brownies:

Have Fun.
Fried turkey is great, as long as you know what you are doing!!!! Grilling hamburgers, polish sausage, and pork roast are also good summertime bbq foods. Even though its a potluck, you’ll want to round out the menu by making a dish in each food group. Here are some ideas:
1. Baked or grilled beans with bacon and brown sugar
2. Corn to roast on the grill with an herb and pepper butter
3. Coleslaw or an asian slaw
4. Deviled eggs
5. Grilled poblamo chilli’s brushed with a mixture of kosher salt, olive oil, minced garlic and stuffed with jack cheese.
6. Homemade ice cream (if you have an ice cream maker!)
7. Lemon bars
8. Spinach dip in a bread bowl
The deep fried turkey is great idea, not everyone eats or wants red meat…a nice kidney bean salad , or broccoli salad would go great with both, a nice big fruit salad, and maybe a chocolate cake, then let the others fill in with the sides, ect….
Don’t forget a relish tray, buns, condiments etc….and your good to go
**if you can find some fresh corn for roastinears that would be awesome
This is a great recipe for a dip… At every bbq i’ve had this summer its been raved about and quickly eaten. With that many people I may double the recipe.

One of my favorite things to cook when i bbq is pork-n-beans with ground meat. You have to season and brown your goundmeat then add it to your prok-n-beans season to taste.
