Answer 1

BBQ's scream out for potato salad and baked beans.  I know that's not super original, but how about:

  Hot German Potato salad and Texas caviar (made with black eyed peas, chiles & onion and served cold.  That would be a twist on the norm.  Hot potato salad and cold beans.

Answer 2

Make sure you have some people bringing desserts. People are always so busy bringing the main dishes and sides, that they never seem to remember some people have a sweet tooth as well. Ask for desserts like apple pie, key lime pie, cheesecake, brownies, cookies, or a nice simple pound cake. Oh, and some ice cream!

Answer 5

I'm going to a BBQ this weekend and all my husband's friends begged me to bring my "famous" 7 layer dip.

In a large casserole dish, you layer a mixture of refried beans and bean dip.  

Then for the next layer you mix a container of sour cream and a packet of taco seasoning.  spread that over the bean layer.

The next layer is gaucamole.  I make my own, but it's easier to just buy some.

Next you chop up a bundle of green onions and layer that on.

Next you chop up two tomatoes and add those.

Then a jar of sliced black olives.

Then you top it off with a package of cheddar cheese.

Everyone loves it!
