I'm in Salisbury, NC and this has always been my favorite red slaw recipe. By the way, try using a little barbecue sauce instead of hot sauce and celery seeds. "Mm! Mm! Good!"
Alan Morris you asked about a close up of the dish. I ‘m just a home cook and my hubby uses his camera and I phone to make the videos. Nothing at all professional about our productions. Sometimes, we forget to take a picture or do something else. In our kitchen, I only get one take and I’m actually making something for our dinner.
If I lived near Lexington, I would just grab some slaw already made at a restaurant along with the best BBQ in the world. I use Chipotle Tabasco for the smoky, spicy flavor it imparts. It works great as a side dish with most anything not just BBQ. We use lots of Texas Pete in our kitchen, just not in this recipe.
My friend grew up in Salisbury. I am from VA...he turned me on to this a few years ago! I like it like this recipe and with dukes mayonnaise....the carolina red sure works on those taste buds!
I'm from NC but have lived in florida the past 5 years. Ive resorted to making my own NC style BBQ at home bc its not easy to find here. I made this slaw last time and it was delicious. Will be making again soon.
Unfortunately it's getting harder & harder to find True Southren Food down here as most restaurants are owned / managed by Nothren Folk , If'n you can get out where there's far less build up an find some Mom & Pop places still open that's where you will find Real Food . The Florida I grew up in is no more sadly . Even just as of recent they say 500 families a day are moving down here .
Chipotle Tabasco sounds good! I always use horseradish sauce and worcestershire sauce with brown sugar. To each their own I guess. Gonna give yours a try !
Thanks for your post. I grew up in Lexington, NC and since Uncle Sam took me away it has been ages since I had good BBQ slaw. I always thought they used Texas Pete Hot Sauce in Lexington. When I saw you using Tabasco Sauce my taste buds were already giving me an unpleasant taste in my mouth. But your enthusiasm for the smoky chipotle makes me wonder if I should try it even though Tabasco does not normally complement any food I eat. Always good to try something new and thanks to you I believe I will. Enjoyed your video.
w glassiter I am not a fan of regular Tabasco either. I’m a Texas Pete girl but in this particular case give the Chipotle Tabasco a try. I’m sure you’ll love it! Remember though, if you are a Texas Pete fan, by all means use it!
I love red slaw and make it quite often. I just stumbled across this video. I'm from the western part of the state. Red slaw goes with everything. I'm going to try the chipotle tabasco next time.
We eat this kind of slaw in North Carolina all the time! It's great on hotdogs, hamburgers and chopped barbeque sandwiches. Be sure to add some celery seeds.
I have been searching for BBQ slaw forever! You can buy Ro"s BBQ slaw at most Harris Teeter supermarkets in and around Charlotte but they don't sell it here in Eastern NC
When we make the slaw in the restaurant, the key is to grinding the cabbage and keeping it chunky. If you grind it too fine it will be watery. Once we have the cabbage cut, we add the salt, pepper and sugar. Mix it in really good. Then we add the ketchup and vinegar and mix it in good. Hard to use exact measurements as all cabbage absorbs ingredients differently. We usually add a little, mix and then add more as needed. There is no spicy or smoke flavored anything added as that smoke flavor comes from the BBQ.
Brigmann Bailey, I use the Chipotle Tabasco for the smokey flavor that is missing in the absence of BBQ. I make it as a side dish to go with all sorts of foods.
I use the Chipotle sauce for the smoky flavor it imparts. If I’m serving this alongside BBQ, I could use pepper flakes and\or Texas Pete, but I make it to eat with everything. I’m not in an area with lots of great BBQ restaurants and definitely no red slaw.
I worked in Lexington BBQ restaurants for quite some time in my younger days. I also made a ton of red slaw. Don't ever recall using chipotle tabasco sauce. But if you like the bite that's ok. If you like the bite... might say add some chopped jalopeno
SilverBulletGhOsT we really like the little bit of smokiness and the spice from the Chipotle Tabasco. When at Lexington BBQ, I always add a little Texas Pete to my slaw and the Q!
Which Lexington BBQ joints did you work at? I've been to "Lexington Barbecue", Mr. Barbecue, Little Richards and Stamey's of Tyro. I live on the West Coast but looking for something new when I visit.
@@DefSquadFan I am from Lexington, Try Stamey's BBQ and the Tarheel Q. It is off the beaten path but the best in my opinion and one me and the family frequent often is Cooks BBQ.
Hi Phillis. Great job. I’ve only recently heard of putting ketchup in kole slaw. I love ketchup so I looked on UA-cam and found you. Thanks. Gonna give it a try.
I desperately needed this. Finally a taste of home.
I grew up in Lexington NC ....this slaw is a must with your bbq!!
We think so too! We also eat it with hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken.....just about anything!

Okay ... sorry. But thanks again!
@@alanmorris7669 hi Salisbury from Kannapolis !!!!
@@amberjones9520 Kannapolis? Isn't that where the Klan is?
My son doesn't care for mayonnaise based coleslaw, so I'm excited to try this with our BBQ pulled pork sandwiches this week! Thank you!
I hope he will love my version. We like it best after 24 hours, but we can never wait that long to dig in!
If you live over here in or near Lexington you have to use Texas Pete hot sauce made in Winston-Salem NC. Thanks for a great video.

I just can't imagine Texas Pete . I don't like and tomato based hot sauce. I just don't get it . I like just red pepper powder if that.

I love this slaw for my BBQ SANDWICHES, I have to make me a bowl of it just for me. Thanks!! so much for sharing this.
NC BBQ LOVER !
Thanks for this recipe, it is awesome! I may throw in a little horseradish next time for a little more kick..but it is easy and fantastic!
Chipotle Tabasco sounds good! I always use horseradish sauce and worcestershire sauce with brown sugar. To each their own I guess. Gonna give yours a try !
Let me know how you like it! Horseradish and Worcestershire sound like an awesome combo. I just try to keep the ingredient list simple!
Cindy Comar that sounds good, do you use it in lieu of the Tabasco?
You are a delight, Phyllis!
Baxter Sapp you’re so sweet!

Very Interesting, never heard of this before. I bet its really good:)
We really love this! Let me know if you try it and how you like it!

Thank you very much it was the perfect tutorial!!!
Lexington BBQ slaw is awesome. Do not go overboard on the ketchup or it will become too sweet.
Thanks for the tip.
That looks delicious!
That's making my mouth water
Can you substitute sweetener for the sugar
George Cutting yes, I have used half sugar and half sweetener. I can’t imagine it not working with all sweetener.
Love the recipe, but Chipotle !? Not NC authentic . Texas Pete outta Winston Salem best or just plain old’ crushed red pepper powder...
Interesting twist as we have never added tabasco in any of the BBQ restaurants in Lexington.

Why do you use Chipotle Hot sauce instead of regular tobasco? The Lexington BBQ restuarants dont use that? So you skip the red pepper flakes?

@@freelancefirst Thanks for the info. It's on my list now.
anybody know if Hill's Lexington BBQ is still open?
Hi Phillis. Great job. I’ve only recently heard of putting ketchup in kole slaw. I love ketchup so I looked on UA-cam and found you. Thanks. Gonna give it a try.
I'm sorry but north Carolina people don't use bag slaw in their slaw.
If you smoke your bbq you don't need added smoke now I hear SC no wonder need no explanation stick to chicken stew
We don’t use Tabasco sauce, or mayo, I live in Lexington Nc, I’ve worked @ BBQ center an Lexington BBQ, an your cabbage is to fine
It might be too fine for you but for me its just fine
