My Favorite Dish!!!! Coleslaw!!


Cajun Coleslaw Recipe***

Ready in: 1-2 hrs

Serves/Makes: 10

Ingredients:
5 tablespoons Mayonnaise, (heaping)
2 tablespoons Yellow mustard (heaping)
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon Garlic salt
1 lemon, juiced
4 Bell peppers, sliced
1 large cabbage, shredded
1 teaspoon Louisiana hot sauce
2 tablespoons Ketchup
1 tablespoon Wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Lea & Perrins
3 teaspoons Salt (to taste)
2 Onions, medium, shredded


Directions:

Put mayonnaise and mustard in a bowl large enough to hold complete mixture, but shaped so that the mixture can be beaten with a fork. Beat mayonnaise and mustard until combined. Add olive oil slowly, beating all the time. Beat until mixture has returned to the thickness of original mayonnaise. Add Louisiana hot sauce, continuing to beat. Add ketchup and keep beating. Add salt and garlic salt, beating all the time. Add wine vinegar (this will thin the sauce down). Beat this thoroughly, adding the lemon juice as you do so.

Taste for salt and pepper. Place shredded cabbage, peppers, and onions in a large salad bowl. pour sauce over and toss well. This should be done about an hour before serving.

Answer 7

5 Bean Chili

1 1/2 Lbs lean ground beef
2 c. chopped onion
1-15 oz can of ea: light red kidney beans drained, cannelloni beans drained, butter beans drained, pinto beans drained
2- 14 1/2 oz cans diced tomatoes with jalapenos ( I used the can with green chili's, not SO hot)
2- packets chili seasoning mix
1- 8z. can tomato sauce
1 cup water
Salt & pepper

In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef with the onions. Break up clumps as much as possible. Put the mix into a slow cooker (I don't have one so did this recipe in a dutch oven, worked just as well)
Add remaining ingredients & stir together, cover, cook 4 hrs on low or 7 to 8 on high (slow cooker method).
If using dutch oven, cook on med low or medium, stirring occasionally so it won't burn, until heated thoroughly or until desired consistency.
Serves 8

this does make some good chili. I couldn't find cannellini beans so used pinto & kidney to substitute.

Answer 8

I used to spend the day before busting my fanny to make those potato - macaroni salads then it dawned on me WHY.
I go to the deli and order a platter,,, cheese, meat or veggies.
add some crackers or fancy bread even chips.
WA-LA.
Only once did the hostess suggest I take home part of the left overs.
I have never regretted the few extra $$$
I have no waste, No clean - up.
