Barbeque side dishes

[Boo's Que]

Hello evereyone, I hope that wherever you are you are dry. The weather here in southeast Texas is terrible. I need some help on the barbeque side dishes> I grew up with baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw and rice dressing. I would like some sugestions for some new sides to offer for a change. These same old sides are getting old. Can any of you guys give me some sugestions? :?
Thanks
Mike Bishop

This sounds pretty good I think I'll give it a try soon.



4 large portabella mushrooms washed throughly, place on tin foil (leave open,foil is only to catch over flow) stem side up. fill/cover with chopped onions and green peppers. melt 2 tablespoons of butter per mushroom and mix in a dash or 2 of garlic salt and pepper. Pour butter over mushrooms and smoke at 225 for 1 hour, cover with monzerella cheese and smoke another 1 hour at 225.

Takes about as long as smoking a few pork steak or chicken quarters, made a good side dish.

Bryan survived the weather and Tornado mostly intact but very wet. I do shrooms much the same way with a blue/feta mixture and olive oil. Another good one is Big Sweet onion (vidalia or similar) with a paring knife take a chunk out of the center after peeling the onion. Make sure you don't dig too deep or go through the base. Fill the hole with olive oil and throw on some grilling magic. Wrap loosely with foil leaving a little chimeny and smoke 1.5 to 2 hours around 200 degrees. The onion just melts.

Now that sounds like a great onion. I will try to cook one soon. Thanks for the receipe.

Everyone loves my garlic fries....

Cook a bag of fries, deep fried or baked, put them in a large mixing bowl. Combine 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup chopped garlic ( either fresh or from a jar), 1 tbs parsley flakes, and 1 tsp salt and pepper.
pour over the fries and toss.

There pretty darn good.

Shopmw,Bigbird,& everyone else.My neighbor told me about a stuffed cabbage done pretty well the way that you do an onion.Cut out the center stem core pack it with butter & chopped garlic.put some rub on it if you want to,wrap it in foil,& smoke it for about 2-4 hours. That is real good. :)

ABT's always go good with Q. They're not really a side dish, more of an appetizer. Be careful though, they go fast and can fill you up. Nobody can eat just one...

Atomic Buffalo Turds

About 2lb. fresh Jalapenos
2 8oz blocks cream cheese (room temp)
1C shredded sharp cheddar
1 heaping tblsp dry onion
1tblsp. granulated garlic
1/2 c or more Pulled pork or fine chopped little smokies
1 or 2 tblsp. Honey (secret ingredient)
bbq rub
2 lb bacon thinner the better

Cut peppers in half lenth wise scoop out seeds and membrain set aside. Set bacon out and let come to room temp. Mix all remaining ingredients except bbq rub throughly. Fill peppers with mixture. Cut bacon in half. Wrap half slice around each pepper. (I do not use tooth picks to hold together. The bacon holds together well if it is at room temp.) Sprinkle with bbq rub. I like to refrigerate overnight. Cook at about 225 - 250 untill bacon is done about 1 hour.
