southern style sides
 

My plan is to slow cook ribs for dinner tonight. I am planning to make cornbread as a side dish.

Any other suggestions for easy to make southern style side dishes?

Green beans cooked with fatback and onions
Greens, take your choice of mustard, collard, etc. Make sure you have a good pepper sauce to go with them.
Fried okra (I despise this stuff, but its an authentic southern side dish)
Black eyed peas maybe, but thats more of a fried chicken side in my opinion.
If you are feeling really adventurous, chitlins, again, not so good with ribs.

BBQ baked beans. Corn on the cob.

Pinto beans. If you're havin corn bread (and I hope it's baked in an iron skillet, otherwise it's just an imposter), it's a no brainer.
