With Father’s Day coming up this weekend, what better way to celebrate Dad than with a delicious backyard BBQ? We’ve gathered some incredible recipes that are sure to impress, so get ready to fire up the grill and treat Dad and your guests to a feast they won’t forget! 

Nora from Savory Nothings cooks up these flavorful barbecue meatballs that couldn’t be easier to make and serve. Whether you prepare the meat from scratch or take her other option of frozen, these will simmer in a slow cooker and can be served right out of the pot.  

Sommer Collier from A Spicy Perspective has perfected the classic potato salad. Using her mom’s recipe, she puts together a few simple ingredients to create this fresh and savory side that pairs perfectly with any BBQ entrée.  

Chef Dennis Littley’s coleslaw recipe features only seven ingredients that can be found in your fridge and pantry. With the base consisting of cabbage and carrots and the dressing easy to combine, the only challenging part is waiting, as he recommends marinating the veggies overnight to soften and enhance their flavor.  

Sliders and hot dogs are classics, but a twist on these entrées is smash burgers. There is no need to ask your attendees how they like their burgers cooked, as these are all cooked the same way, “smashed” into the griddle. While Dimitra’s recipe is super simple, she’ll give you a step-by-step guide on how to assemble and execute it.  

Adam and Joanne from Inspired Taste have plenty of five-star recipes, yet they claim this is one of their all-stars. Whether you slather these ribs in homemade barbecue sauce or use store-bought, these fall right off the bone and will blow your guests away.  

Chocolate cake is constantly on the dessert table on outdoor occasions for a reason: it’s sweet and moist, and nearly everyone loves chocolate… dads are no exception! While Faith Hill is known for her exceptional voice, her Coca-Cola cake has made waves in the baking community, earning an A+ from Ina Garten. The Southern Coca-Cola twist gives the classic chocolate cake a run for its money!  

To all the dedicated fathers, we at Industrial Repair Service want to wish you a meaningful Father’s Day. We appreciate all that you do!
