NBFR. help

Quick, what should I make for Js family BBQ on th 4th? I was thinking Greek pasta salad, but he said there will be a lot of pasta salads. I said taco dip, but someone else always brings that. I thought spinich artichoke dip but I don't want to bake it when we get there, its gonna be a crowded hot kitchen.

  • My BIL always makes this dip he calls "Philly & Chili" and now I make it when I need to bring something if I don't want to make my salsa.

    It's literally cream cheese and canned chili heated together in stove then put into a crockpot. (I guess you could make it in the crockpot, but I like to make it quickly and just use the crockpot to keep it heated).

    I've been told it tastes like the restaurant Chili's skillet queso but I've never had that so I cannot confirm.

  • hummus w/ pita bread? baked beans? corn bread or rolls? potato salad? shrimp cocktail? brownies? cupcakes? chocolate covered strawberries (I saw some that were dipped in white chocolate & blue sugar)? 

    it's not technically making something, but plates of veg & dip, apples, cheese, etc are always good.

  • Headed to the store. I think I'm going with potato salad, corn bread, and I made a gazillion chocolate chip cookies today so ill bring what is left over of those.
  • Pizza Dip is always a big hit for me...spread 2 packs of cream cheese on the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Dump in 2 little jars of pizza sauce I like Ragu homemade and cover with a 2cup bag of shredded mozz cheese. Serve with tortilla chips cold or at room temp. Kids love it!

  • My friend made a lemonaid pie which was awesome. Can of frozen lemonaid, can of condensed milk and tub of cool whip mixed until consistancy close to key lime pie and then put in a graham cracker crust and immediately in fridge. And did not mix enough and froze it and it was incredible.

  • There's a buffalo chicken dip my mom and u make a lot and everyone loves it and it always all gets eaten. Don't know if u want to do a salad since there's a lot but we also do an Asian cabbage salad that people seem to like.

    Or if u want to do a dessert S'mores cookies are easy and usually go well with BBQ type food.
