My BCT coleslaw recipe instructions
- Wash veggies, and cut them.(tomato, onion, cabbage.) You can use a food processor for cabbage if you prefer, but I hand chopped so I could have somewhat smaller and bigger pieces..
- I popped the bacon in the oven on a baking sheet with either aluminum foil, or parchment paper at 400 degrees. If you have a thicker cut bacon, do 350 for a longer amount of time, as it can cook slower while u dice veggies. Also, I didn't flip bacon over, and it turns out perfectly. Then lay them on a plate with paper towel, to soak up grease. Let cool, then chop up..
- In a bigger bowl, add pkg of coleslaw dressing mix, mayo, lemon juice, and 1 TBSP ranch dressing powder, and whisk it together..
- Add all the veggies, and chopped bacon a little at a time, while mixing together. Add the salt, pepper, and veggie Mccormick seasoning, and stir one last time..
