Beans and cornbread...meal or side item?

[3rdShot]

The two sides of the dispute:

1)seasoned beans (only a few pieces of bacon/ham/for flavor) and cornbread is a meal
2)the above is a side item, unless a pound or two of andouille sausage / ham / etc is added to the seasoned beans, THEN it's a meal.

Discuss.

Happy New Year!!

We make it as a meal....can't recall ever eating it as a side.

Beans with minimal meat for seasoning only is a side. Beans with at least 1 pound of meat per 3 people is a meal.

Not to derail but my wife argues that dirty rice isn't a meal but we ate it several times with crackers when I was growing up. Maybe we were poorer than I remember.

If it's a meal load it up with sausage or ham hocks or something!!

Meal. Add some chow-chow and it's even better.

Meal !!! only a rich man would consider it only a side

Every serving has at least some meat

It's a meal or a side here. If we only have meat for seasoning, we will add a spoonful of sour cream and some shredded cheese to a serving, and then I pour on the hot sauce!
