Questions

Can I use turkey bacon instead of bacon in Hot Slaw?

Yes. Turkey bacon renders almost no fat, so add a tablespoon of oil wherever the method counts on the drippings. As written, the entry for Hot Slaw uses 4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped.

Is Hot Slaw gluten-free?

Yes. As written, nothing in the ingredient list for Hot Slaw is wheat, barley or rye. Gluten hides in packaged goods, so read the label on the mustard.

How many carbs are in Hot Slaw?

One serving (the recipe makes 6) has 8 g of carbohydrate in about 130 calories, with 3 g protein and 10 g fat, plus 2 g fiber and 310 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

How long does Hot Slaw keep?

Refrigerate what is left of Hot Slaw within two hours and eat it within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Hot Slaw?

Yes. As written it serves 6. Halved, the bacon drops from 4 slices to 2 slices; doubled, it is 8 slices. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
