Hot Slaw: This is sooooo good

I made this today and it turned out great.

Hot Slaw: Recipe from Paula Deen

6 slices bacon
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 large head green cabbage, shredded
4 tablespoons chili powder
Kosher salt
1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (recommended: Ro-Tel)

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. Serve quickly with crumbled bacon.

Sounds very good! I love the flavors of bacon and cabbage together. Thanks for sharing it.

She sure is, LOL. I wonder if she would have made that recipe if she'd realized that it was actually low carb. Just kidding. I watched her make that dish quite some time ago and printed out the recipe. Thanks for the review, Nigel. I don't know why I've never gotten around to trying it because it sounds delicious.

K: Yummmy..I have a question..Could you use the packaged slaw? I'm lazy sometimes.
And is it a bit soupy or does the cabbage soak the tomatoes up a bit?

I made this recipe about a year and a half ago when I saw Paula do it on TV. I really liked it, but DH just thought it so-so. It seemed more like a vegetable dish to me than a real slaw, but that was okay by me.

Sounds what I make w/my eggs at nite, I get the Broccelli Slaw and fry it in a mixture of coconut & bacon grease. Its soooo yummy. I also found a Broccelli Slaw type mixture at Meijers but it not only had cabbage/broc./carrots, it also had cauliflower in it, it was so good to fried in bacon/coconut grease. Good EATIN

I may have cooked it a bit longer, but it soaked up most of the juice. I think the bagged kind of slaw would work great too. To me, the kind in the bag is a little drier than the head of cabbage is, so that's probably a good thing.

Also, for anyone who doesn't like a lot of heat, be sure and get the "mild" green chilies and tomatoes, but if you don't like any heat, I think canned petite tomatoes would work just as well.

Now, I'm thinking I might want to try this with a bag of broccoli slaw. Hmmm....
