Hey here is a easy dinner to prepare!.!.I qualify born in Virginia
First "ham" is one of the most popular and important meats in the south the "piggy" feeds everyone with all it's parts but the OINK!.!.!.that is the only part I think never goes in the pot!.
First check the newspaper and see if anyone has ham on sale if so get the shank end it's usually cheaper and the taste is as good as any other cut!. A smoked sugar cured ham would be the most desirable!. Bake the ham about 20 minutes per pound in the oven as directed on the label!.
In the mean time wash and poke 3 holes in each one and then bake enough whole sweet potatoes to feed you and yours!.!.!.!.usually 1 per person will do if large!. when they are fork tender remove from oven and let cool!. When you can handle them peel and cut in half then place in buttered casserole dish!. On top of the stove i n small pot place 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup orange juice , 1 tsp!. cinnamon, pinch of cloves and nutmeg!. Mix together and cook for 2 minutes then pour over sweet potatoes!. Place in oven and bake until syrupy and has a candied look to it!.
Green beans
Usually southerners cook with meat like ham or fresh pork!. Take some of the baked ham chop into cubes and cook with fresh green beans or canned!. Add black pepper no salt and enough water if fresh to cover the beans and bring to boil simmer until everything is fork tender!.
To top off the dinner make some cornbread
purchase a mix or make it from scratch
For dessert a banana pudding is a great southern treat
all you need are about 3 or 4 large bananas
vanilla wafers, vanilla pudding and meringue for the top
Line a casserole dish with vanilla wafers top with bananas, pudding and repeat until all is used then at the top place meringue and bake for about 10 minutes until golden brown!.
Just about every southerner I know drinks iced tea not plain but sweetened!.!.so make sure you have plenty to pass
There are many more dishes to suggest but this is enough I think to get you started write to me if you need more info!. about southern cooking and eating!.

Well in my opinion, if you want to have a true southern dinner then the following should be on the menu:
Southern Fried Chicken
Macaroni and Cheese (not the stuff in the box, the real deal)
Fried Green Tomatoes
Collard Greens
Bread Pudding or Apple Pie
Here are a few recipes to get you started these are super easy!.
Southern Fried Chicken
3 lbs chickens, cut up
1 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon seasoning salt (may also use regular salt)
2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried sage (may use bell seasoning or some dried oregano)
vegetable or canola oil (for frying)
Wash chicken pieces thoroughly and pat dry!. Mix buttermilk, eggs and seasoning salt and dip chicken pieces in this mixture!. combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic and dried sage in a large bowl!. Take each piece of chicken out the buttermilk mixture and coat evenly with the seasoned flour one at a time!. Heat a shallow layer of oil in a jumbo chicken skillet (cast iron is great for this job) or an electric skillet!. Place the chicken in the pan, trying not to crowd the pieces!. Cover for the first 5 minutes (this is to speed up the cooking process and to make sure it cooks all the way through) remove the cover after 5 minutes then continue frying and turning fregquently for 10-15 minutes until chicken is golden brown and full cooked!.
Macaroni and Cheese
4 cups cooked elbow macaroni, drained
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F!.
Once you have the macaroni cooked and drained, place in a large bowl and while still hot and add the cheddar!. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and add to the macaroni mixture!. Pour macaroni mixture into a casserole dish and bake for 30 to 45 minutes!. Top with additional cheese if desired!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
