I'm just looking to something a little more comfortable so for our smoked
coleslaw here our ingredients we need cabbage of course we need 1 carrot we
need 1 lemon fresh is the best if you can get it we need a large red or green
pepper I like to use the smaller ones we need 1 onion a red onion tends to work
better we need some Dijon mustard some mayonnaise some sour cream some prepared
horseradish and some paprika and a little bit of sugar if you haven't
already put your traeger on smoke while we're waiting for the grill to smoke
we're going to go into a mixing bowl like this and we're going to make the
dressing we're gonna do 1/2 a cup of sour cream we're gonna go 3 quarters of
a cup of mayonnaise next we're gonna take the juice from one lemon which
equals out to be about a quarter of a cup so I usually put it into quarters
and then we just squeeze the lemon into there nice we're going to do one to two
tablespoons of sugar 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
and then to add a little kick we need one to two tablespoons of prepared
horseradish we're gonna give this a quick stir make sure everything is mixed
and then we're going to go into the refrigerator all right well this cool is
off for a little bit we're gonna make the slaw okay now that our sauce is ready
our grill has had time to smoke for five or ten minutes we're going to take our
cabbage and we're gonna cut it into small pieces if you've got a food
processor this will make the process a little bit easier it's not a
necessity by any means but it will cut the cabbage into nice even sections so
we need 8 cups of shredded cabbage then we're gonna want a baking sheet make
sure it's something that you don't mind getting stained or whatever because it
is gonna get smoky but then we're just gonna pour the the cabbage out onto the
baking sheet spread it out evenly okay we're gonna take the diced cabbage out
to the Traeger we're gonna smoke it for 30 minutes if you're making the cheddar
smoked burgers at the same time you can also throw the burgers on at the same
time as the cabbage
while the slaw is out smoking we're gonna throw one onion one carrot and one
red or whichever color bell pepper that you want I'm gonna throw them in the
food processor which will make your life easier once again but you can slice them
into whatever size you want all right let's see how the slaw is doing it's
been about half an hour
looks good just a little bit of brown on the top
alright let's grab our dressing that's been cooling off and we're gonna put our
smoked slaw into the dressing alright now we're gonna throw in our onions and
carrots and peppers and we're going to mix this all up so we can coat that
dressing on all of it alright last but not least we're just going to top it
with paprika and you can add a little salt and pepper to taste that's the
trigger smoked coleslaw make sure you join me on Friday for the smokey cheddar
pork burgers if it's past Friday I'll put a link down below you have to make
