NBR - BBQ sides

kellenickle

We are doing a 4th of July BBQ  - grilling some chicken and sausage and then making some pulled pork.

We are trying to figure out some sides that can be served cold/room temp or made ahead of time.  No one coming really likes the typical sides (potato salad, coleslaw, beans, etc).  

Anyone have some different recipes they like?

mac and cheese, fried okra, green beans/green bean casserole, corn on the cob, hashbrown casserole.

I think any sides go with BBQ really so you could make any sides you like, IMO.

Rolls, veggie tray, fruit bowl, salsa, cheese, guac dips, corn on the cob

We did pulled pork for DD's birthday and we made bean salad, mac n' cheese, a veggie tray, and chips and queso. I thought about doing a pasta salad as well, but figured the mac n' cheese was close enough.

These are 3 of our favorites, both can be served cold or room temp. From my blog that I never update anymore:

It had never occurred to me to have mac and cheese or mashed potatoes with bbq, until we went to Ruby's last week. I am a changed woman--those sides were so fantastic, I will never want potato salad or beans again.
