Another Southern favorite and one hard to avoid if you are a vegetarian in the south is Green Beans with Bacon. Those green beans on the veggie plate? Not vegetarian. Just warning you.
They are darn good though.
1/2 cup bacon, diced
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
2 cups cooked green beans
Cook slowly for 10 minutes to an hour (if you start with uncooked green beans). Add a bit of salt and pepper if you are the sort.
I love home grown green beans cooked with bacon, so yummy. Alas the price of water here in So. Cal. has gone up so much we can not afford to grown any this year.
