- Sprinkle about 2 tbsp of the fresh bacon bits on top of cabbage. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Immediately before serving, stir hot dressing well, then use a ladle to pour about 4-6 oz on the slaw making sure you thoroughly wet all the cabbage and bacon.
- Enjoy!

Thanks for the recipe! Many moons ago, we would go to Forest View Gardens for Easter every year with my then in-laws, and got the hot slaw every time. I recently had left over cabbage, and was looking for a hot slaw recipe and was so happy to find this! It tasted great, but I might leave the cabbage on the counter for a while rather than putting back in the fridge so the salad would be a little warmer when mixed with the dressing. Will definitely make again.
