Good but Weird

That was the comment I got the most about this recipe. I couldn't bring myself to try it but everyone at our BBQ had some had nothing but good things to say, but it was almost always followed by how weird it was too.




Didn't like at all....

I love spicy and I love slaw, but this didn't go over well at all. The brisket was WONDERFUL though.




Great Suprise

This was so easy and really good, it reminds me of fried cabbage and I knew that if I called it hot slaw my family would not try it, because they do not just like cole slaw, so I told them it was a slightly different take on fried cabbage and tried it and loved it. It was really good Paula. Keep them coming.




Hot Slaw?

I have never had hot slaw but I am always trying to find new dishes to serve my family. This was so good! I didn't add the chili powder because with the Ro-Tel I thought it may be alittle to spicy, but even without it the dish was fabulous.

This was okay, I made it for a pot luck BBQ. It was pretty easy, but I wouldn't say it was a hit. I guess people are more into the traditional cole slaw




a good alterative

I have entertained with this dish. Most ppl liked it. I think it is a different kind of slaw. the first time I made my loving husband, who was trying to help, put in 4 Tbl of cayanne pepper in stead of chili power!!! Do not try that at home! Wow was it hot! It was totally uneditable. Otherwise a very good recipe




Easy and yummy

This is a keeper! I made this using only half a head of cabbage and 1 Tbsp. chili powder. It was plenty hot for me, but hubby could've used more heat.




yummy

If you like spicy foods (which we do) this is a superb dish. Add it to your party dishes.




Way too much Chili Powder

I have made a lot of Paula's recipes, but this one was a flop with the family. The Chili Powder overpowers the cabbage. We do love hot and spicy, but this really was neither.

LOVEEEE THIS RECIPE & TALK ABOUT ECONOMICAL! My entire family is addicted to this dish. If you don't like an intense chilli powder flavor, decrease the amount. I don't change a thing.

This is the worst recipe I have cooked. I used fresh vegetables picked from my garden and that didn't help. The chili powder was overpowering. Everyone in our four generation family tried it and the whole dish went into the garbage. What a disappointment! The is the only receipe of Paula's that has been uneatable. Most are fabulous.




Sorry Paula, this one just didn't do it.

I love Paula's show and I was excited when I saw her make this dish because I love cabbage, but my husband and son do not. I was happy to try a new cabbage dish and hoped to convert then. My store didn't have Ro-Tel tomatoes, so I substituted Red Gold. I only put in 2 1/2 tablespoons of chili powder. Maybe my head of cabbage wasn't large enough, but it was way too hot. We like hot foods, but the chili powder overpowered the other flavors. Needless to say, my husband and son liked it even less than my other cabbage dishes. And as much as I love cabbage, I can't say I liked it prepared this way. Sorry Paula, I love your cooking, but this one just didn't do it for us.

Paula's cooking is always wonderful. However, I read the reviews before I made this and I only used 2 tbls of chili seasoning. I'm not into spicy. And even with 2 tablespoons of chili powder and rotel tomatoes, this just didn't do it for me. It was boring. I love cabbage and I kept thinking, "I wasted an entire head of cabbage!" I gave it 3 stars because it wasn't bad, but I probably won't make it again.

I didn't have the Rotel tomatoes with chilis so I used the Rotel Mexican Fiesta which is hotter. It still was yummy. My husband said it was a bit spicy but went back for seconds. Next time I will be sure to use the Rotel with chilis. Paula you are my favorite Food Network Star and thats coming from a Yankee girl from Maine!

I read the reviews and used 3 tablespoons instead of 4 of the chili powder. Still potent! But we loved it. Next time maybe just 2 TBLS. I cook for hunters every November and I know they will love this! Paula is awesome!

I made this after watching her show today and it was wonderful. I've made many of her recipes now and they all work. Being a Northern Californian into food, I have to admit when I first started watching her show I was stunned by some of the ingredients, however, I've learned to trust her. I wish her show was an hour long and her show could be expanded so we get to see more of her. I've turned many of my friends onto her. Good luck, Paula!

I'm going to try this again but not put as much Chili Powder in the next time - maybe cut in half or more. Then I can always add. I think it would have been better if it hadn't been as spicy....my family is not real into spicy foods.

I was so very surprised at how much I liked this slaw. It is very tastey and my husband really liked it as well. I think this recipe would be good to serve with a lot of different meats.I served it with Paula's Smoaked Boston Butt this time (which was excellent by the way). I will make it again for sure.

THIS WAS REALLY DELICIOUS. I NEVER MAKE ANY OF PAULA'S RECIPES BECAUSE JUST ABOUT THE TIME I GET INTERESTED IN IT, SHE ADDS A POUND OF LARD OR BUTTER OR BOTH. BUT THIS ONE WON'T HURT YOUR WAISTLINE AND IT IS UNUSUAL AND WONDERFUL. I THINK THE RO-TEL IS ESSENTIAL. THE FLAVOR IS VERY DISTINCTIVE SO DON'T SUBSTITUTE ANYTHING ELSE.

This dish was good but wouldn't suggest eating it as leftovers. Heating up the cabbage and veggies makes it soggy the second go round.

This recipe was a hit amongst my family! Cooking in a large pot instead of a big skillet makes it easier to toss the slaw as it cooks. I added a little water to help cook cabbage down. Also added pepper.

When I told my husband I was going to try a new recipe, Hot Slaw, he wasn't to sure. Then he tried it ... WOW! I made it one on of the coldest days so far this year. ( He works in the cold quite a bit ) This did the trick to warm him up from the inside out. Once we got done with dinner, he was helping me with how else we could use this. Hot dog topping and layered on quesadillas just to start. What a great side dish.

This is a very unusual taste. I can't describe it, but man, it's hot and I only put in 1/2 of the chili powder and I'm no lightweight. I'll make it again though.
