Better Than KFC Cole Slaw

Author: Bill Cosby -> Not the actor
Recipe Type: Side Dish
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Serves: 10

You can make homemade cole slaw that tastes even better than KFC.

Ingredients

1-2 heads of Cabbage
1- Green Bell Pepper
1- Small Onion
1- Medium to Large Carrot
2- C. of Miracle Whip Light
1/2 C. Sugar
1/4 C. Vinegar
1/4 C. Vegetable oil

Instructions

If you are Lucky to have a Food Processor Cut up Cabbage, while cutting up Cabbage Cut small slices of Green Pepper and Onion, or Carrot and add to Processor. This will help distribute flavor throughout slaw. You should only use 1/4 to 1/2 of Onion and Green Pepper but use all of the Carrot. If you truly love green pepper or onion you can add all but I do not recommend it.

Now mix Miracle whip, vinegar, and oil, Sugar. Mix smooth. Taste should be sweet with just a hint of vinegar. Amount of slaw dressing may be increased or decreased according to the amount of slaw you are making.

Add to cut up cabbage and Mix well. Let stand 1-hour if possible to let flavors mix. You will be happy with the results.

Is there a certain kind of vinegar that is better to use?

I worked at KFC in 1972 and we made the best slaw ever. If I remember correctly, we did not add vinegar so we didn’t have to add as much sugar. As a diabetic, I would use the salad dressing to get the tartness and then add less sugar which would be healther and would still taste great. Don’t use the precut slaw in the grocery store because it has the core in it and that ruins the taste. By the way, in Memphis, TN in 1972, these were the prices: snack $.89, dinner $1.25, thrift box (9 piece) $2.49, bucket 15 pices chicken with dozen rolls and 2 large sides, and $5.25 for a 21 piece barrel. We only had the orginal recipe then but we did a great business.

Instead of slicing he coleslaw and carrots, etc…i just bought the bagged coleslaw mix. I used 2 1/2 bags to the dressing amount called for here. It was a good thing i added more cabbage, because the tiny bit of onion i put in overpowered everything else. Very strong onion. whew…I thought this was a great recipe, tasted very similar to KFC and I would def make again…thanks!

I made this for Thanksgiving. It was delicious. I used Miracle Whip Light. It DOES taste very much like KFC coleslaw. Make it the night before and it tastes better the next day.

I just find it hard to believe this is KFC recipe. I love their coleslaw! It DOES NOT have Bell Pepper in it and I would know because I have a terrible reaction to Bell pepper. I question the sugar AND miracle whip too. I won’t be making this and I’m disappointed…will look elsewhere for something different

  I didn’t say it was their recipe, I said it is ‘Better Than KFC’ cole slaw. I appreciate your insight on the recipe, and hope you find exactly what you are looking for!

  I beg to differ about the bell pepper. If you go to this link and look at the picture, you’ll see Bell Pepper.

    I don’t dispute you. I personally loathe the bell pepper, and so did the author of this recipe. That’s why I call this one Better Than KFC Cole Slaw ;0)

    In the picture see something GREEN. Is it bell pepper? I don’t know. Cabbage goes from white to dark green. Onions can be green, especially green onions. The ad says “Freshly prepared in store with cabbage, carrots and a bit of onion and our signature dressing.” I have made this recipe with bell pepper but I used too much, next time, I used very little and it tasted very much like KFC. I used Miracle whip and sugar like it said. Both were good, I preferred it with very little bell pepper.

      This recipe has a small amount of green bell pepper in the recipe.

Can you substitute may for miracle whip?

I would not use Miracle Whip in this recipe, it will not taste the same if you use Miracle Whip if you want it to taste like KFC.

  does it taste the same to switch to regular mayo?
Cheryl

How many does this serve?
About 10 servings per head of cabbage.

When u say green pepper, you mean green bell pepper right?

Yes, green pepper meant green bell pepper, I made the modification in the recipe to make it easier to understand. Thank you for pointing that out! – Stephanie
