These Best Smoked Side Dishes are some of my family’s favorite dishes to whip up! The holidays are even better with smoked meat, so I also love to throw a side dish in the smoker. Plus, in the summer, the comfort foods won’t heat up your house when you cook them on the smoker!
Now making comfort food in my Pit Boss Pro 1100 is my favorite. So why not throw in a side dish for the holidays too?? I picked up my Pit Boss Pro at Lowes, but Walmart and Amazon carry other Pit Boss options or the Pit Boss website itself. I did consider a Traeger pellet grill, but at the time, the Pit Boss was the option I went with.
Supplies For Making Smoked Side Dishes
- Aluminum Foil Pans– Disposable pans are a great way to make some side dish recipes. Often, the bottoms will get dirty from the smoker, or the food will crust onto the pan. Being able to throw away the pan instead of scrubbing the dishes is a great option. I always make my macaroni, cheese, and queso in these pans.
- Large Mixing Bowls– Having a large mixing bowl makes sit easy to mix together the ingredients before they go into the cooking pans. You can use a hand mixer in it as well for some recipes.
- Food Processor– Many side dishes can be heavy in Parmesan Cheese, Cheddar cheese, Feta Cheese, Gouda cheese, and Mozzarella Cheese. We tend to save money by buying the bricks of cheese at a local grocery store or Costco and shredding them ourselves.
- Cast Iron – Many of these tasty side dish recipes cook well in a cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven. The dish may be harder to clean, but the flavor of cast iron with smoking foods is never a disappointment.
