Amish Hot Bacon Slaw is my recipe of the day. Warmer weather approaches, and this is my favorite side dish for a backyard bbq!

This is a kind of hot slaw we like to have with barbecue among other things It’s commonly served at restaurants here in Ohio.
It’s a bit like a cross between braised cabbage and the flavor of a wilted salad with all the goodness of coleslaw.
Being a warm slaw, it is perfect for wintertime grilling/smoking or if you do BBQ in the oven or crock pot. This has a nice crunchy texture, although not quite as crisp as regular coleslaw.
But it does have a great sweet and sour flavor I adore. I am sure you will love it as well.

My kind of slaw! There are very similar dishes here where I live, and I love them. This was a new twist using carrots in addition to the slaw. We liked it very much, will make it again that way. Thanks for sharing!
