Roxie,
I’m doing 30 lbs of shoulder for 40 people next weekend and wanted to serve slaw with the pulled pork sammiches, so made up a batch of your first slaw recipe to taste test before offering it to guests. The last slaw that I had by itself, not on a pp sammich, was in ’72, when I got food poisoning from it and puked for three days, so I was a little apprehensious, too say the least. Will it was great!. Had the taste test in the afternoon, some for desert last night and some for lunch today. I think I’ll make up your kicked up version for next weekend.
Thank you so much! |

I know I'm jumping in late, but Roxy, I think you're really onto something here! I made a small batch of coleslaw with the diced pickle, the pickle juice, and some buttermilk. I changed the proportions - I used 1/4 teaspoon of sugar and of celery seed, also I used 1/2 cup of buttermilk instead of 1-1/2. I left out the onion, green onion and mustard too. I made the dressing with homemade mayonnaise, which tastes enormously different from anything you can buy. The coleslaw dressing was outstanding!
There was a little bit of the dressing left over since I only had a part of a very small head of cabbage. I put some on my plate when we had fried potatoes, and it worked really surprisingly well as a condiment. The really killer use came tonight, though, when I made what we call entree baked potatoes. These are just baked russets with a bunch of toppings:
butter
caramelized onion
sauteed mushrooms
crock-potted beef chunks with extra liquid
grated cheddar cheese
I tried adding a little of the coleslaw dressing to my baked potato, and ya know, it was REAL moist and delicious!
Here's my crock pot beef chunks recipe:
1-1/2 pounds beef chunks (use cheap meat), cut into strips maybe 1x1/2x3"
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 can beef broth
1/4 cup cider vinegar
Add all ingredients to the crock pot and stew until the meat is falling-apart tender. Pour the liquid off into a pan and set it over high heat to reduce volume to 1/3 of what it had been. Shred the beef in the crock pot pan, forming strings. After the liquid has reduced, add the meat to the pan and stir to combine.
One last thing - I buy a pint of buttermilk and use 1/2 cup in the coleslaw dressing and use the other
1-1/2 cups in your awesome corn bread recipe! Thanks so much for posting these!

Thanks Roxy for posting that recipe! A lot of folks wouldn't have done that. I agree with you. I haven't posted much here, but I have been lurking and reading for a while now and I am amazed at what I have learned and picked up so far. Good to know that there is a site around like this where we can all help each other make better bbq. |

Glad ya found that one..
If I am making slaw as a side it is always the kicked up version. IMO it is all flavour of the original recipe plus bacon..... I freakin love bacon, I have gone through 4 lbs this week at home.. Well, I did make 40 ABT's for the staff at work, a couple bacon sammiches and pasta carbonara.
For adding to a pulled pork sammich I use the original recipe. _________________ Chargriller Akorn

Me too, bacon is mighty good. The kicked up recipe sounds delicious as well. My in-laws have requested the salw again for this Sunday's lunch. I may surprise them with it.
Believe it or not, no one really tasted the paprika on the slaw, if they did they didn't mention it, all they wanted to know is how I came up with it and if there was more of it. Your name was mentioned a lot that day Once again thanks for sharing these recipes, it's hard to find something like that or come up with it on your own. |

The original recipe took me well over 15 years of tweaking and tinkering before I was happy with it enough to post the recipe. It was a work in progress with many contributing factors.
If your family liked the original I am sure they will love the kicked up version. Some times it helps to drink while making food... I think it lowers your inhibitions and well, at least for me in this case, helps with creativity..  _________________ Chargriller Akorn

Thanks for sharing!
Does this come out real creamy and mayonaise-y? Because I hate mayo! Seriously! I like it just right without being too creamy.
I am going to try it this weekend when I do my first butt. I make homemade potato salad but haven't tackled slaw yet. |

Because of the buttermilk, the sauce is rather thin and it does require a slotted spoon to serve it up. Would not say its "too mayonnaise-y. _________________ Chargriller Akorn

Any idea about where this comes out weight wise? I need to get it to about 10 pounds for a party this weekend. I know there are a few variables, but anybody field a guess? |

I would think if you times 4 of the recipe you should be in the range.. maybe 5 times depending on the size of the cabbage.
10 pounds of slaw, you got some party going on for sure. _________________ Chargriller Akorn

I'm counting on 50 maybe 55 people, and the spreadsheet I am using says about 20 pounds of total sides. I'm figuring about 10 pounds each of slaw and beans. Shooting for 3.2 ounces of each side per person. |

Tried this for the first time today, I know, what took so long?
I didn't find it very.....
Just kidding. It was awesome!
My wife usually makes salad and such.
I made this one and we were both impressed.
