Main course: Since it’s a barbecue, for your main course you’ll want to stick with the classics: burgers and ribs. Be sure to make enough as your guests will be back for seconds!
Sides: Sides are great for adding some nutritional value to your meal. Serving a couple of salads are a great, easy-to-prepare option.

Drinks: Don’t forget the drinks! While a Canadian BBQ wouldn’t be complete without a cold beer, having different types of drinks (including non-alcoholic options) will make you the best host ever!
