Food Ideas for Grand Final Day Parties and BBQs
Crank up the oven and serve heated up snacks with bowls of tomato sauce and napkins:
- Party Pies and Sausage Rolls
If you are taking it to the party then heat them up in the oven, line an ice cream container with a few layers of paper towel and place the piping hot sausage and party pies inside in layers. Put the pie filled container in an insulated bag and they will remain hot for a few hours. - Cocktail Frankfurts (or Hot Dogs cut up)
For taking to a party – Heat and transport in a thermos with boiling water. Carefully drain the hot water from the thermos when you are ready to serve and you will have nice hot hot dogs! - Chicken Nuggets, Quiche’s, Mini Dim Sims
Whatever you see in the frozen section at the supermarket that you think everyone will enjoy. Just heat up small amounts and share around – until nobody wants anymore!
Cook up a feast on the BBQ
BBQ’s are great for cooking up a lot of food at the one time.
- Fry up on the BBQ
Sausages, Steak, Chicken thighs, onions are yum and easy to cook on the BBQ. Make up some of your favorite salads and make sure you have some fresh bread and tomato sauce to wrap the sausages in. - Slow Cook
Marinate some meat and slow cook it during the day. Try some Pulled pork, Brisket, Loaded potatoes, coleslaw, and corn on the cob - Prawns on the Barbie
Prawns are delicious cooked on the barbecue – either whole in their shells or shelled and threaded onto skewers. Lemon juice and olive oil drizzled over them, then served with mayonnaise is yummy.
