Memphis-Style Coleslaw

Easy. Delicious. That’s what I want from my coleslaw. Oh sure, sometimes I’m feeling more fru-fru and add ‘weird’ things to my slaws. But not this time. This Memphis-style coleslaw was put together in no time using ingredients I had hanging around. I didn’t have to make a shopping list. I didn’t have to do a lot of prep. It’s basically an ‘everyone into the pool’ recipe, and I like those. The slaw is sweet and creamy and crunchy. That’s my favorite kind.

Made Fresh, So Eat It Fresh

I have a thing about my coleslaws. It’s a texture thing. I gotta have that crunch. Fresh cabbage. I’m not a big fan of most coleslaws after they’ve been around a few days. They tend to lose that crunch that I love. If you’re the same, then do what I did. Eat it just as soon as you make it. This Memphis-style coleslaw is so good you’ll have no problem doing that. Put extra on your plate if you need to. You’ll want to.

I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Extra-Crunchy Panko Onion Rings

Onion rings are my favorite hamburger side dish. I take my onion rings seriously, too. They’d better have a nice clean ‘bite’ to them. That means when I take a bite, I’d better not end up pulling the entire onion out with it. Then I’m left with a ‘batter tube’. Although tasty, that’s not what I want. I want crunchy, delicious onion rings. Like these extra-crunchy panko onion rings!

Extra-Crunchy Panko Onion Rings

Batter. All Around.

If you’re not careful making extra-crunchy panko onion rings, you’ll end up with spots on your rings with no batter. This happens for two reasons: either you didn’t get enough batter on them, or you did but your fingers wiped it off.

When you dunk the onions into the egg mixture and then the breadcrumbs, make sure you get both all over. Inside and outside. Completely. And make sure you handle the rings as gently as possible. Instead of grabbing them on edge, I stick two fingers inside, then spread my fingers outward. That way I only touch the insides of the rings and only with my finger nails. That way the coating stays on the outside. Might sound odd, but you want that crunchy exterior as even as you can get it with no bald spots.

The Presto Fry Daddy is perfect for making smaller batches of food. It only uses a few cups of oil and comes to temperature quickly. Clean-up is easy too!

Instructions

  • Peel the onions.
  • Cut into ½" rings and separate into individual rings.
  • Set out 3 shallow bowls.
  • In the first bowl combine the flour, seasoned salt and pepper.
  • In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs with the milk.
  • In the third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Place the onion rings into the flour mixture.
  • Turn to get the flour on all areas.
  • Place on a wire rack and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Return the rings to the flour and again turn to coat.
  • Shake off any excess and (working in batches as needed), place the rings into the egg mixture.
  • Dunk the rings, making sure they get coated evenly. I like to handle the rings from the inside so that my fingers do not knock any of the coating off the outsides.
  • Shake off any excess coating and transfer to the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Turn the rings to coat well in the breadcrumbs then transfer to a wire rack to let rest for 5 minutes.
  • While the rings are resting heat 2-3" of oil to 350 F in a Dutch oven or deep fryer.
  • Working in batches if needed, fry the rings for 2 minutes, then flip and continue cooking until golden brown.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
  • Season rings with salt and serve.

Notes

Save any leftover onion pieces for other uses.

Stovetop Pimento Mac and Cheese

“Give me a big ole heapin’ helpin’ of thin runny mac and cheese” said no one ever, anywhere. Good thing too because my stovetop pimento mac and cheese can hold its own and then some. Thick and creamy. Easy. With a simple twist: pimentos! This is my kind of easy stick-to-your-ribs side dish. Perfect on a cold day.

Stovetop Pimento Mac and Cheese

A Heck Of A Lot Better Than The Boxed Stuff

My stovetop pimento mac and cheese is not fancy. There’s nothing here that you probably don’t already have in your pantry. Sometimes you just want something simple and comforting. This is it. If you don’t have pimentos that’s ok, it’s still a great mac and cheese recipe without them!

Or you can substitute roasted red peppers. Just drain them and give them a good chop!

Hula Hula Baked Beans

I consider baked beans to be just about the best side dish. There’s just never anything boring about them. There are so many ways to prepare them. Smoky. Sweet. Tangy. The combinations seem endless. Today I made a nice little batch of hula hula baked beans to go with some grilled burgers. A little sweet, and a little citrusy, these beans hit the spot. And they were super-easy to make, too.

Hula Hula Baked Beans

Get Chunky

I went with pineapple rings to top my hula hula baked beans. Why? I thought they looked cool. And everyone knew that the beans had pineapple in them. Upfront. No questions. Ok, sure I could’ve gone with crushed pineapple or pineapple chunks. But why? “Hey, there’s pineapple in here!” that’s what my baked beans said.

Can you substitute canned apples like all those other recipes? Sure. But don’t call them hula hula beans any more if you do!

Velveeta Tex-Mex Rice

I was on a Velveeta kick. I was putting it on burgers. Hot dogs. Mac and cheese. Anything that called for cheese, I was gonna put Velveeta in it. But then I ran across this recipe for Velveeta Tex-Mex rice and I thought “Now THAT’S what I was looking for!”. Lots and lots of creamy cheesy Velveeta in a simple side dish that sounded amazing. And it was! This was perfect with our burgers and hot dogs. Despite its simplicity and short ingredient list, it is packed with flavor.

Velveeta Tex-Mex Rice

Make It A Main Dish

The original recipe for Velveeta Tex-Mex rice called for adding cooked chicken. I wanted a side dish so I left that out. However, this recipe makes a big batch of rice so I ended up with leftovers. And I figured, sure, why not serve this as the main dish? I didn’t have any chicken but I did have smoked sausage. So I grilled it (you could just fry it in a pan) to get a little color and sliced it into rounds. I reheated the rice (I had to add a bit more salsa to thin it a bit) and stirred in the sausage. Boom! A great main dish in minutes!

Honey Butter Skillet Corn

Whether it’s fresh corn season where you live (like it is here in Indiana) or not, you’ll love this honey butter skillet corn. It’s sweet. Creamy. The corn just ‘pops’ with flavor. This isn’t a difficult side dish to make but it sure is good. It’s just as great leftover too, so don’t hesitate to make an extra-big batch!

Honey Butter Skillet Corn

Go Fresh. Go Grilled.

This honey butter skillet corn can be made with canned corn. Or frozen. But it’s best made with fresh corn on the cob. And better still if you grill or roast the corn on the cob first. I had my grill going to cook some wings, so I just tossed a few ears (4 to be exact) on the side of the grill and let them get nice and lightly charred and cooked through. I rotated them every 3-4 minutes, cooking for a total time between 15-20 minutes. You can also roast your ears of corn in a 450 F oven for 150-20 minutes. Just make sure you let the hot corn cool slightly before cutting off the kernels!

Use some hot honey to spice this dish up a bit!

Sweet Roasted Red Pepper Macaroni Salad

Oh man does this sweet roasted red pepper macaroni salad ever scream ‘summer’. I’m a mayonnaise kinda guy. And elbow macaroni and mayo were made for each other. Specially when you add in a few crunchy things like onion and celery to offset some of that delicious creaminess. This sweet roasted red pepper macaroni salad might remind you a bit of grandma’s classic. But with a few little twists. First, instead of the raw red bell pepper you might be used to I used tasty roasted pepper. It adds a bit of a sweetness and a more complex flavor than just a good ole bell pepper. Second, a little sugar adds a nice sweetness. This is not a tart salad. It’s creamy sweet, lightly crunchy, and delicious!

Sweet Roasted Red Pepper Macaroni Salad

Leave It Be

There’s nothing I’d change about this sweet roasted red pepper macaroni salad. I thought about it. I thought hey, I could use artificial sweetener instead of sugar. I could cut back on the mayonnaise. All sorts of things went thru my head. And none of them stuck. That’s good because this salad is great just as it is. I wouldn’t change a thing.

This recipe makes a pretty big batch. Plenty for a picnic or family get-together.

  • Add the remaining salad ingredients and fold to combine.
  • Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

This is a fairly saucy salad, which I like. If you prefer yours with a little less sauce, place the pasta in a large bowl and prepare the dressing in a separate bowl. Slowly add the dressing to the pasta, stirring, until you get the consistency you are looking for. Reserve the remaining dressing because the salad tends to get thicker and drier after a day or two.

Spicy Onion Rings

It wasn’t the day for the usual onion rings. Nothing wrong with the usual ones, don’t get me wrong. But it was time for a bolder version. Something with some kick behind it. It’s my opinion that more restaurants should serve spicy onion rings. Sure, you can still get the tame stuff. But go bold, I say. Get some heat!

Spicy Onion Rings

Crunchy Spicy Goodness

It’s important to be gentle when making these spicy onion rings. You go roughing them up while you’re making them and you’ll end up with big gaps in the batter. You don’t want that. You’re aiming for consistency. You want them golden brown. And crunchy. And of course, spicy.

Flour is the key to this operation. The first roll in the flour gets the rings dried out. Don’t rush it. Get them well-coated. Inside and out. The second time in the flour you’re after that crunchy batter. Again, get them well-coated. Don’t worry about getting batter fingers. Concentrate on the job at hand. You’ll be rewarded in the end.

The Presto Fry Daddy is perfect for making smaller batches of food. It only uses a few cups of oil and comes to temperature quickly. Clean-up is easy too!

Southwestern Style Beans

One of the most popular side dishes I’ve made is the Spanish style beans we discovered years ago. And after roasting a large (ok, huge) batch of Hatch chiles the other day I decided to take my old trusty Spanish style bean recipe and make Southwestern style beans. And boy, did it ever come out great, too. It reminds me of a meatless chili, actually. Just like a big bowl of chili it would be perfect on a cool fall day in Indiana.

Southwestern Style Beans

Oh So Good!

Ranch style beans have such a wonderful flavor that I could eat them right out of the can. If you can’t find freshly roasted green chiles, just add canned chopped green chiles to these southwestern style beans.

I like to use my good ole trusty Dutch oven to make this soup and pretty much darned near anything like it on my stovetop. It’s nice and big and sturdy. That extra weight helps it maintain and distribute heat perfectly. As an added bonus, it’s actually pretty easy to clean up too!

Easy Mexican Coleslaw

I fess up when I need to fess up. And I need to fess up. Because when my wife first shared this recipe for an easy Mexican coleslaw with me I expressed skepticism. What’s wrong with my slaw recipes, huh? Do I need lime juice in my slaw? Or beans? Or taco seasoning????

Well, yes, I do. I do need those things. And more. Because I ended up loving this slaw. A lot. So many different flavors and textures. There’s absolutely nothing boring about this slaw. This is slaw re-imagined. At a new level. So, I’m sorry. I was wrong thinking this wouldn’t be a fantastic dish because it was.

Easy Mexican Coleslaw

Lots of… Stuff

Oh I know the ingredient list for this easy Mexican coleslaw is a bit long. But it is still ‘easy’. In fact it’s crazy easy. Considering the reward, it’s more than worth it too. There’s all sorts of like… healthy things in it too. If you’re looking to really shake up your next picnic or family get together or just a simple grill-out, make this slaw. You’ll be more than happy that you did.

I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ⅔ cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 16 ounces coleslaw mix
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
  • 1 ½ cup grape tomatoes halved, saving a few for garnish if desired. Cherry tomatoes are great too
  • 15.25 ounce black beans drained, rinsed
  • 1 ½ cups corn kernels grilled or roasted, see note
  • 1 jalapeno seeded, minced
  • ½ cup cilantro chopped
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice and taco seasoning.
  • Add the coleslaw, bell pepper, tomatoes, beans, corn, jalapeno and cilantro to a large bowl.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Gently stir in the mayonnaise mixture.
  • Add salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Stir before serving.
  • Serve garnished with additional tomatoes if desired.

Notes

For the corn, we used two ears of fresh corn. I husked them then tossed them on a hot grill, turning often, until nicely roasted. After letting them cool I cut the kernels off with a knife. You can use canned or frozen corn if you prefer. If you wish to roast it, pat dry and put on a baking sheet. Place under the broiler, stirring often, until lightly roasted.
