Ladies -
I am at a loss this morning. I have a 3.5 lb chuck roast in the crockpot to make BBQ for dinner. What should I serve with it to round out the meal????
Thanks!

Well, as a Southerner, cole slaw comes to mind. I would think that any sort of vinegar-y salad would help cut the barbecue taste well.
A good sturdy roll is a nice accompaniment.
I keep thinking of baked beans, but I'm not sure how well that "rounds out" the meal. Rather, it is likely nostalgic to me.
Maybe just some simple green beans for a veggie side?

Lindsay beat me to it! I was going to suggest exactly the food items she recommended.

I have the same thing on my menu for Wednesday! I have planned to serve it with rolls and green salad (no fans of cole slaw here) and fruit.

I grew up with baked beans and BBQ (they just seem to go hand in hand)...and of course, I would have either green beans or a green salad.
Yummy!!
Can I come over?!?!?!

Cole slaw. Mexican corn and black bean salad (olive oil and lime juice; chopped red sweet pepper; cilantro; canned beans and corn; best made early in the day or the day before so that the flavors blend well).
Funny, but that's on our Tuesday menu.
Peace,
Nancy

Well, I guess I'm Irish because some sort of potato came to mind. Scalloped or Au Gratin. I would also go with the slaw and rolls of some sort.
Of course, if it was August I would say corn on the cob!
