Thats exactly what I'd do. Veggie chilli's cheap to make and very tasty as well. A load of bread on the side for mopping up and sounds like a good night to me!

Lasagne, pie and peas, chilli, stew, hot beef sandwiches, hot dogs, burgers etc Homemade soup served in mugs is good if going outside for bonfire/fireworks - keeps the hands warm.

Angela those cupcakes look fab! I am definitely trying those this year!
Another vote for chili, I did a big pot of soup and loads of hot dogs last year.
