This is a twist on a tradition Southern favorite. She mentions that the dressing will bring out the water in the slaw making it creamier while sitting, so don't think it's not enough when you first stir together!

Paula Deen's Hot Bacon Cole Slaw image

I made this the day I saw Paula make this on Food Network. We really enjoyed it. This is a bit different than traditional cole slaw but I liked the change.

Provided by HappyMommy1422

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 slices bacon
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 large green cabbage, shredded
4 tablespoons chili powder, to taste
salt
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, such as ro-tel

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp.
  • Remove to paper towels to drain.
  • Crumble bacon and set aside.
  • In reserved bacon fat, cook onions and bell peppers until limp, about 5 minutes.
  • Add shredded cabbage and cook until limp, but not soft, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add chili powder and salt, to taste.
  • Add tomatoes and simmer just until warmed through.
  • Slaw should be slightly crisp.
  • Adjust seasonings and add salt to taste.
  • Serve quickly with crumbled bacon.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help the slaw to absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with a slicing blade. Just be careful not to overprocess the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
  • Use a variety of cabbages and carrots to add color and flavor to your slaw. Red cabbage, Savoy cabbage, and purple carrots are all great options.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. A simple vinegar-based dressing is always a classic, but you can also try using mayonnaise, sour cream, or yogurt-based dressings.
  • Add some mix-ins to your slaw to make it even more delicious. Some popular options include bacon, crumbled cheese, nuts, and seeds.
  • Serve your slaw immediately or chill it for later. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's Money-Saving Cole Slaw is a delicious and affordable side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a slaw that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this recipe a try.
