Question:

Good dish for memorial weekend party?Hog roast main dish.Need sides.?

Our friends have a big hog roast party every memorial weekend. The supply the meat and everyone brings side dishes to share with the crowd.
I was something GOOD but different to take this year. There is always a lot of desserts, so I prefer an actual side dish. I need something that is quick, easy, and will serve a lot of people!!
Thanks for any ideas!!


Answers:
My Family has a pig roast almost every year and the following are the favorites- easy, yummy, and portable!

Rice and Bean salad
4 cups cooked rice
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can whole kernal corn, drained
1 cup mild salsa
3/4 cup mayo
chopped cilantro
Mix all ingredients and chill for a couple hours to meld flavors. Easily doubled- and you can change up the salsa type, use red beans instead of black, use parsley instead of cilantro, etc.

Triple Corn Bread
1 box krusteez honey cord bread mix
1 can whole kernal corn
1 can cream style corn
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs
2 tablespoons honey


Ignore the package directions and stir the above ingredients together. Cook in a large aluminum foil square cake pan for 25 minutes, pat with butter and cook 5 minutes more.

i love italian pasta salad made with rotini and italian dressing. add mushrooms, pepperoni, mozzerella, black olives, maybe cauliflower or broccoli if you like. really easy - and there's no wrong way to make it!

I would take a crock pot and make chili in it...everyone loves chili...just don't forget the cheese, onions and crackers

Why not take a side dish of several litters of piglets?
You know...a small appetizer before the hog meal....

macaroni salad, pasta salad, salt potatoes, raw veggies, 7 layer taco dip, homemade coleslaw

Standard Sidedishes: baked beans, mac & cheese, pasta salads, potato salads, deviled eggs, veggie tray

"Didn't expect that" sidedishes: corn on the cob, green bean casserole, 7 layer dip, spinach articoke dip, fried squash, hush puppies

baked beans is quick and easy to serve alot of people

My first thought was italian pasta salad but someon beat me to it, so now I have to go with hashbrown casserole. Bake hashbrowns, sourcream, cheddar cheese, and a little cream of mushroom soup in a big cake pan. When it is 10 minutes from done crush potato chips on top and pour about 3 tsp of melted butter on the top of the chipd for the salty addition to the potatoes and a wonderful crunch! YUM!

I have a great taco salad recipe.
1 head of lettuce chopped
1 12 oz. bag of shredded cheddar cheese
1lb cooked ground beef
onion to taste
1 large tomato cubed
1/2 cup sour cream
Catalina salad dressing(about 1 cup or whatever covers the salad)
Mix it all together then crumble 1 large bag of nacho cheese Doritos on top.
The catalina and doritos really makes it tasts different. Could also add olives or other taco ingredients.
Hope this helps!

A quick and easy dish I love is if you cut your potatoes in half and then cut the two pieces in half. Then take your four halfs and cut them into four (So, you have a bunch of little potatoes. Put then in a pan and put salt, pepper, and garlic salt over them. Cover with tin foil and put a little water in the bottom. Then turn your oven on 375 and let cook for 1 hour. Then when potatoes are soft put kraft sharp cheese grated on the top put in for 5-7 minutes and they are ready to eat!!

Potato salad
Baked beans
Deviled eggs

sausage balls?
