Bourbon Bacon Slaw Recipes

BOURBON-BACON SLAW

Steps:

• While the bacon cooks, prep the cabbage and place it in a large mixing bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, bourbon, lime juice, brown sugar, mustard, chili powder, and garlic powder until well combined. Add salt and pepper to your taste.
• Pour the dressing over the cabbage and mix until all of the cabbage is evenly coated in the dressing.
• Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Once you're ready to serve the slaw, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon in the skillet until crispy, flipping once, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Chop the bacon and add half to the cabbage, stir to combine. Transfer the slaw to a serving bowl, and then sprinkle the remaining bacon over the top. Serve immediately.

HONEY-BOURBON GLAZED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the honey and bourbon in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• Lay the bacon on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes. Brush with some of the honey-bourbon syrup. Continue roasting until deeply caramelized and crispy, another 10 to 15 minutes--the bacon will really crisp as it cools. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and serve.

FOOTLONG WEST VIRGINIA-STYLE HOT DOGS WITH BOURBON-BACON SLAW

Steps:

• Grill, steam or boil the hot dogs. In the meantime, heat the Chili until hot throughout.
• Place each hot dog in a bun, then top with a generous amount of the Chili, Bourbon-Bacon Slaw and yellow mustard.
• In a stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the beef (do not brown first), chili powder, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic salt, tomato sauce, tomato paste, onion and 2 cups water. Mix until combined, then add the bay leaves. Bring to a simmer, lower the heat to medium low, cover and simmer for about 2 hours.
• Stir in the vinegar and simmer another 30 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, brown sugar, bourbon, mustard, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and lime juice. Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mix in a large bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours. Just before serving, stir in the bacon.
