Overcast Blue Cheese Coleslaw

My mom had recently been on a business trip in the midwest and had dined at a Houston’s Steakhouse with her clients. She came home craving the blue cheese coleslaw she had with her steak. After enlisting my help we started throwing cabbage and blue cheese together and finally got the recipe just right.

Now this is the type of recipe that is so easy to make that it makes you feel guilty when everyone raves about it and asks for the recipe. I’ve taken it to work functions and BBQ’s. It has become a staple at family functions and with Eric’s Pulled Pork. In fact, it has even been posted on the “Southern Fork in the Road” blog written by our good friend Holly Barnett.

Make it. Love it. Share it.

Makes: 10-12 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 0 minutes

Ingredients:

2 bags of coleslaw mix
3/4 - 1 jar of refrigerated Blue Cheese Dressing (such as Bob’s Big Boy, found in the refrigerated vegetable section)
1 8oz container Blue Cheese Crumbles
1-2 tbsp. Bottled Horseradish

Preparation:

Mix coleslaw mix with blue cheese dressing and toss to coat. Add Horseradish to taste and toss to mix. Finally add the blue cheese crumbles and salt and pepper and toss to mix.
