Looking for some opinions on sides for my pulled pork

[Meatyorology]

So we are hosting a team dinner for my son's varsity hockey team and I've decided on most of the meal so far. My plan is to make pulled pork, coleslaw, baby back ribs and scalloped potatoes (needed a carb). Most of the other team meals have consisted of pasta or lesagna but there have been a few "pulled pork" dinners of late and I feel the need to step up my game. I'm confident in my pork shoulder and coleslaw combo but I want one or two more sides to complement the meal and oblerate the "competition". Let me here your thoughts on what I can add to my meal plan to impress a bunch of 14-18 year old boys where quantity counts more than quality. There are no dietary restrictionss so I am happy to cheat with butter, baccon etc you get the idea. Could also use a killer desert idea too. Thanks!!

Baked beans and ambrosia?

Mac and cheese

Putting some pulled pork in that Mac and cheese would make it pretty special. Or, you could serve pulled pork soft tacos.

Brownie's with a scoop of ice cream for desert.

Add a bunch of bacon to the scalloped potatoes. Teenage boys will love it.

How about smoked wings as either a side dish or an appetizer?

I’d suggest for dessert something apple (pie, cobbler, crisp). This will complement the pork selections.

Smoked Mac-&-Cheese always seems to be a hit with teenagers when I make it. My wife has a no boil recipe she puts together that all I have to do is get it in the pellet grill and stir a few times.

Awesome ideas, thanks for the inspiration!!!

I cook for our high school football teams linemen several times a year. It sounds like the sides you have planned will be hits. A couple things our team seems to like best are loaded baked beans, parmigiana roasted potatoes, oven baked broccoli with parmigiana cheese and sugar cream pies.

Cole slaw, bake beans. potato salad and banana pudding as dessert.

Second this. The recipe on this site is fantastic and a crown pleaser!

I'm with that one too! And the beans, macaroni, bacon in the taters - and corn bread!

I can highly recommend the Sweet-Sour Slaw! Easy to make and so tasty. https://amazingribs.com/tested-recip...weet-sour-slaw

this is now my go-to slaw.

I too am on the side of Mac & Cheese and baked beans as well as a vinegar based slaw, pickles, and brownies for dessert.

Cowboy baked beans or hearty loaded baked beans - I like to add ground beef and/or pulled pork, peppers & onions, corn, sometimes bourbon, a few chopped jalapenos. Potato salad. An easy apple cobbler for dessert.
