An All-American 4th of July BBQ: Grilled Sausages & More!

In summary, grilled sausages are a popular choice for an all-American 4th of July BBQ, with options such as hot dogs, bratwurst, Italian sausage, and kielbasa. To ensure they are cooked through, it is recommended to preheat the grill and cook them over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Both gas and charcoal grills are suitable for this BBQ, and classic side dishes include potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans, and corn on the cob. For vegetarian options, tofu, veggie burgers, and grilled vegetables can be served.

Hello all. I hope everyone had a great 4th! I sure did. I started out the weekend looking for a dessert to make and came across the All American Celebration cake thread here and decided to try it (I love berries & angel food cake).

Well that recipe lead me to the Grilled Italian Sausages with Confetti Vegetable Relish recipe and the Picnic Potato Salad recipe and I just had to share with all of you . . . all 3 recipes are great!

We BBQ'd at my parents yesterday and it was great. Even my dad, who has been slow to accept PC, loved everything. So if you are looking for a great weekend menu for your family, I would suggest this one.

And the best part, the entire meal is tax deductible - I love "practicing" PC recipes!
 
They sound yummy, I have tried the dessert before, it was VERY good.
 



Hi there! I'm so glad you had a great 4th of July weekend and that you found some delicious recipes to try out. The All American Celebration cake sounds amazing - I love anything with berries and angel food cake too. And the Grilled Italian Sausages with Confetti Vegetable Relish and Picnic Potato Salad sound like the perfect addition to a BBQ. It's always great when even those who are skeptical about PC can't resist the yummy food. And hey, the fact that it's tax deductible is just an added bonus! Thanks for sharing your experience and these recipes with us. Happy cooking!
