gotta have slaw with bbq

I like beans. Modified an old classic. Start with Bush's baked beans (with brown sugar), add a little more brown sugar, BBQ sauce, paprika, and a healthy dose of chrushed red pepper, hot pepper (powder) and spicey cajun powder. Cook it on med-low for appx 30 mins. Then, just before you are done, top it off with shreded cheddar cheese. It should melt so it forms a covering over the beans. Don't mix it when you serve. It's a nice twist that will add kick to the BBQ meat.

Red Beans and rice.....I live in the Houston area, so we have quite a bit of Cajun influence. Corn Bread, onions and pickles, potato salad, peach cobbler.

Cole slaw the creamy kind, Mrs. Liz's Macaroni salad, 54 engine beans, deviled eggs, and I'm good to go. Oh, if I have time I usually churn out some vanilla, black rasberry and strawberry ice cream for dessert, the old fashioned way non electric, hand crank and I get all the kids to help churn it or anyone else who wants a turn or two on the hand crank.

I like beans and macaroni salad to go with my BBQ

Yo Chef Schander, To get the biggest bang outa BBQ, you have to try this. Just before you are ready to serve your favorite ribs, steak, chicken or pork, put your slaw, mac salad or beans on the plate. Next: Finely dice about two inches of cucumber and roll it into a ball with some tofu and what ever sushi she might have in the frig. If the ball doesn't hold together, add hamburger buns for consistancy. Should be about the size of tennis ball but heavier. Now: Put the BBQ on the plate with the side dish and throw the ball into your nieghbors yard. Enjoy.

Beans are good, as is the slaws but what I really like as a side dish is to take good ole corn on the cob.
Soak it in water for about 20 minutes and then without doing nothing more wrap them in aluminum foil and toss em on the grill and rotate them about every 10 minutes or so, then shuck the husks and the silk off and plaster with butter.

If its BBQ chicken, you gotta have some of that good old Eastern Sho of Maryland Jezabel corn on the cob grilled then buttered and sprinkled with Old Bay seasoning, and that eastern sho potato salad. UMMMM, thats good eatin.

I tried this......go ahead and shuck husks and silk, slice a half stick of butter in half lengthwise, put it on each side of the ear, and do the same thing....then chow down!!!

I'm all in favor of the classic Cole slaw and baked beans, but here's a twist:

Black and Blue Cole Slaw

1 medium head red cabbage, shredded (6 cups)
1/2 pound seedless grapes, halved
1 cup chopped parsley
3/4 cup mayonnaise (reduced-calorie, if desired)
4 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
4 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Cooking Directions
In large bowl, toss together cabbage, grapes and parsley. Stir together remaining ingredients in a small bowl, add to the slaw and toss well. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving. If desired, sprinkle with additional crumbled blue cheese and garnish with red grapes.

Serves 12-16.

Serving Suggestions
A sweet, savory salad when sprinkled with crumbled blue cheese and garnished with red grapes.

Its great make it the day before and store it in the fridge, its better after it sits a while. Enjoy
