Traditional coleslaw is always a slam dunk at pitch-ins! But add some kick with a few spices and a pound of bacon for my Smoky Bacon Slaw and be the hero!

I found a similar recipe years ago in a magazine, made it, loved it, and of course, lost it! I am a complete hot mess walking disaster. It has taken me years to replicate this to the best of my memory!

We love bacon around here! If I can’t get everyone’s attention I just start frying bacon. People say milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard….milkshakes ain’t got nothing on bacon!

Bake, broil or fry that bacon, it doesn’t matter. The bacon in this adds a slightly salty flavor along with a little chewy bite amidst the crunchy cabbage. The slight heat from the cayenne pepper and smoked paprika make this a unique slaw that people love!

Doesn’t everything just get better with bacon? This recipe calls for a whole pound of bacon, yes a whole pound. From personal experience, I advise making this when no one is around OR just go ahead and make 2 pounds if other people are around. Because honestly, I know from first-hand experience that bacon for a recipe disappears super fast if you don’t keep an eye on it!
