Lookin for side dish suggestions

BigGreenBamaGriller

Gonna do a cook for the game Saturday. Menu includes:

ABTs

Carwash Mike Ribs

Jalapeno & roasted red pepper creamed corn

Sourdough bread rolls

I am trying to think of some other side to go with the ribs. Any go-to suggestions from the group?

I would think some Baked Beans would be good along with the Ribs as would a good salad.

Cheesy hashbrowns

Bacon?

You can't go wrong with my Four Cheese Mac 'n Cheese... it's perfect with ribs, IMO.

BBQ, mac and cheese, baked beans, corn, collar greens, zipper cream peas and tater salad.  Reminds me of the old days being at Granny's house for family get together and dinner. Ahhhh, the good ole days.

You are probably right about the baked beans. I am personally not a fan, but the rest of the world is.

Necessary - That mac n cheese looks good. Is it posted somewhere?

Pinto beans. Simple and if you use dry beans, they take almost the exact time as ribs. You can use just about anything but here is an example of what I would use. 

Dry pinto beans (duh)

low sodium chicken stock

bacon(raw)

cilantro(fresh)

pickled cactus

sliced pickled jalapeños 

diced onion

season to taste(go easy on the salt, the rest of the goodies have plenty)

Cook uncovered (I use a enameled cast iron pot) takes 4-5 hours. Stir every hour or so.

You can double the béchamel sauce for a creamier mac ‘n cheese (that's what I do).

I will have to admit I used it more than once with it and it is amazing stuff. I totally endorse it because it is just so delicious. If you want good foods then follow her and she knows how to really cook. I like her approach because it is very elegant.
