What is crack slaw? It’s a bacon fat, ground beef, cabbage slaw with some Asian-infusion.

We love it because it’s quick, easy, and simple, yet so incredibly delicious. To say it's a crowd pleaser is an understatement. It also makes quite a big batch that’s fantastic for meal prep. We love it hot, cold, for breakfast, for lunch and for dinner. You can’t go wrong with this slaw. We know an 11-year-old who asks for Crack Slaw by name!
