There's nothing quite like a summer BBQ. When the weather cooperates, we'd be happy grilling dinner outside every night of the week. Sure, that requires a lot of BBQ dinner ideas for the family — but that's not a problem. Since BBQ tends to favor simple dishes, there are so many kid-friendly grilling ideas out there. And we rounded up 19 of our favorite crowd-pleasing grill ideas for dinner to make your meal planning even easier.

From mains to side dishes to summer appetizers, these family BBQ ideas will take you through the entire summer BBQ season and beyond. And most of them can easily be scaled up or down, so you can grill enough to feed a bigger crew — or even a full-on summer party — or a family of three. Plenty of these grilling ideas for families can be converted to indoor cooking methods too, though you'll probably miss that certain je ne sais quois of food cooked outside.
