Making pulled pork bbq for Sunday dinner with my dad, any suggestions on a good side dish for this? I usually do fries, but I'd like to do something different this time. Thank you!|||Succotash, coleslaw, cornbread, collard greens, boiled potatoes, potato salad, baked beans, mac and cheese...|||I'd go with the Potato Salad and Baked Beans for sure! Don't forgot some good appetizers such as Stuffed Jalapenos or maybe some stuffed mushrooms to kick thing off......I'll attach some recipes.
Della鈥檚 World Class Recipe For Potato Salad
--------------------------------------鈥?br>
(Even folks who don鈥檛 like potato salad, like my mother-in-law's recipe for potato salad. Its really good!)
Ingredients:
鈥? 鈥?5 Medium to Large Potatoes Washed
鈥?鈥? Hard Boiled Eggs (Add additional egg for presentation 鈥?4th egg)
鈥?/4 Cup Mayo
鈥?/4 Cup Miracle Whip
鈥?/4 Cup Yellow Mustard
鈥? Tablespoons of Sugar
鈥alt and Pepper To Taste
鈥?/4 Cup Chopped Green Onion
鈥?/2 Cup Chopped Celery
鈥aprika
Directions:
4-5 medium to large potatoes washed (place in large pot with enough water to cover potatoes and boil for about 30 minutes (until a fork pierces them easily). Also boil 2 to 3 eggs (I put them in the same pot as the potatoes and pull them out after about 15 minutes). You鈥檒l need about 1 1/2 cups of this dressing which consists of half real mayo and half Miracle Whip, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 1 TBLS. Sugar. Mix the dressing in a mixing bowl.
After the potatoes have finished cooking, drain water and let cool. Once cool, peel and cut in chunks into serving bowl. Peel hardboiled eggs and cut up and mix into potatoes. Add green onion in with the potato and egg. Sprinkle the other tablespoon of sugar over the potatoes and add plenty of salt and pepper (to taste). Stir dressing into the potatoes. I always boil an extra egg and slice up over the top and sprinkle with additional chopped green onion and a little paprika for a pretty presentation.

Texas Stuffed Jalapenos Recipe
--------------------------------------鈥?br>
This stuffed jalapenos recipe is a hit wherever I go, I am always welcomed back (as long as I bring them again). First introduced to this about 7 years ago by my cousin Scott. Thanks cuz!!
Texas Stuffed Jalapenos
By Mark Mohr (Certified Native Texan)
Ingredients:
鈥?0-24 three inch long, firm jalapenos (fresh)
鈥? Pound "Queso Fresco" (my preference for high melting point), You can use Substitute With Monterrey Jack or Mozzarella.
鈥? Pounds Bacon - do not use thick sliced.
鈥?5 Toothpicks.
Directions: Cut cheese into small 1/2 inch pieces, and set on counter to soften.
Lop off the top of the peppers (I trim the pepper around the stem and set aside for other things such as pico de gallo). With a narrow paring knife, carefully clean out seeds and membrane. Try not to cut through outer edge of pepper.
Stuff cheese pieces into peppers, filling up to the top. Try not to split the pepper by pressing the cheese in too hard.
Take a stuffed pepper and a slice of bacon. Cover the top of the pepper with an end of the bacon slice. Bring the other end of the bacon slice towards the bottom of the pepper and twist around the pepper stopping at the top. Punch the toothpick through (about an inch from the top) to keep bacon in place.There are pepper holders available that are simply a raised metal platform with holes cut out to rest the bottom of the peppers in. This is to reduce the amount of cheese that could escape. I used to lean the peppers against each other before I purchased a holder.
Cook about 1 hour or until bacon is done. Try to cook near the edge of your fire to prevent the bacon grease from causing flare-ups. You may try cooking in oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, then transferring to the pit for the smoke flavor.
Prep time one hour after you have done it a few times, but well worth it. And of course, watch where you put those jalapeno soaked fingers for a day or two. One might want to wear some sort of latex glove during the cutting and deseeding process.
Enjoy!!|||Baked beans. Take a few cans of Grandma Brown's beans add some ketchup, mustard and brown sugar to your liking. Baking in the oven( for about 45 minutes maybe) and then add some already cooked bacon to the top for the last 5 or 10 minutes of cooking.|||Cole slaw is a must, not too sweet. Baked beans are also traditionally served with barbecue. Corn on the cob would be good too.
My husband's family is from NC. The above are dishes typically served with excellent bbq at restaurants.|||Fresh Coleslaw, maybe w/ raisins and salted peanutsin it
