Hot Slaw Tips

How should you serve hot slaw?

Hot slaw is a natural side dish for summer barbecue recipes, but it also makes a great condiment! Serve it over sausages, burgers, pulled pork or grilled steak. If you're reluctant to make homemade slaw because of all the shredding, find out how to shred cabbage the easy way.

What can you serve with hot slaw?

Hot slaw is perfect for picnics, potlucks and barbecues. Serve it with easy pork chop recipes, baked chicken or slow-cooker sandwiches. Whether you spoon hot slaw on the side or use it as a topper, it will add a ton of flavor and crunch to the meal.

How long will leftover hot slaw last?

Store leftover hot slaw in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. You can reheat it in the microwave, but it also tastes great cold.
