I need to make a side dish

gmac

So my friend is getting married and his fiances sister is friggin insane. She is throwing them a party and since I'm in the wedding party I have to make a side dish. But there is about 100 people coming to this disaster. 
Any ideas for a side dish?  Their neighbor is going to cook a pig.

Pork Burnt End

2 Butts from Sams/Costco are cheap.  Smoke until 160 F.  Cube into 1" pieces, add sauce and cook until tender.

Cheap, Easy, and provides decent volume.

Cauliflower roasted on the egg is the bomb. Blanch it and dry, roast indirect with parmesan, gruyere or white cheddar till caramelised. I think they are still Ontario too.

Feta Cheese Pasta Salad,

1 Box Penne Pasta (Cooked)
1 Jar Sundried Tomatoes drained
about 30 pepperonis quartered
1 boneless skinless chicken breast (cooked and shredded)
8oz Feta Cheese
Italian dressing

Toss everything together in the bowl, and add Italian dressing until its the consistency you are looking for. Salad is good warm or cold and is a crowd pleaser.

I'd just do a couple of pork butts, pull em, sauce em, and through down a bowl full of rolls for pulled pork sliders.  Only thing it takes is a little time, but the work is easy and it is even good cold!

I would just make a big batch of tater salad.  This recipe is awesome:

Goes without saying, but even better if you add bacon.

If the neighbor is going to cook a pig, I would keep the side dish light.  How about a huge portion of fresh grilled pineapple seasoned with DP pineapplehead?

I'd do a couple pans of baked beans on the egg.

Go by Bojangles and get some big containers of their dirty rice.

Thanks all. I'm leaning towards the Mac n cheese and baked beans. But the cauliflower could be a great choice too. Maybe I will do both.

Made this Mac and cheese (actually Penne and cheese) on Sunday for a family gathering. It's not simple, but it's not terribly hard either. It does taste really good.

This corn salad recipe is from Publix - it is so delicious and easy to make.  I leave off the taco shells.  Everyone that I have served it to has asked for the recipe.  It travels well and can be made a day ahead.  Enjoy.

I went with Mac n cheese. Well penne and cheese anyway. I can't seem to follow recipes well so I winged it based on one @Hans61 sent me (even though he did tell me to follow it but I don't listen well ). 
This is pan 1 of 2. Used 6 kg of paste and a lot of milk and cream. 8 lbs of cheese. 
It will be good enough for sure.

Looks great @gmac!!!
