Mmm ribs....
I always think baked beans, cole slaw and green beans when I have ribs.
Could you do some sort of green bean side? I don't know if you've ever been to a Texas Roadhouse but they have a super yummy green bean side. It's so basic, but heavenly. Basically just green beans in a little bit of chicken broth with bacon and onions. DELISH.
I'm not sure if that's exactly what's in it, but that's what it tastes like :)
Hmm, my mom does love a cold green bean salad. Maybe I'll do that. But the dish you described sounds delish!!
When I make green beans, I do 1 lb of green beans, 1/4 c. chicken broth, about 2 tbsp of butter, 1/8 tsp. garlic powder, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 c. of onions, and 1/4 of cooked bacon, and just simmer it all together. It's delicious! DH loves it, and he says it tastes just like Texas Roadhouse! :)
