Bacon and Blue Cheese Coleslaw

From Dr. BBQ’s book Slow Fire: The Guide to Lip-Smacking Barbecue

I’ve never made coleslaw before, and at no point in this recipe do you need to fire up the EGG. But at least 2 (so far) of the recipes on this website call for coleslaw. What’s better than store-bought coleslaw? Homemade coleslaw of course (homemade anything is automatically better than anything you can find in the store).

When I found this recipe in the Slow Fire cookbook and then saw that it included bacon ( 🙂 ) I knew I had to make it to go on the barbequed bologna sandwiches I was making.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound shredded coleslaw mix
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing, sugar, maple syrup, and pepper. Set aside.
