KFC Copycat Coleslaw

PREP TIME 15 minutes

TOTAL TIME 45 minutes

SERVINGS 5

You will need:

  • ½ head of green cabbage, finely chopped (about 4 cups)
  • ½ medium carrot, finely chopped 
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk 
  • 4 ¼ teaspoons white vinegar 
  • 1 ½ tablespoons onion, finely chopped 
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk 
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise 
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice 
  • 4 teaspoons sugar 
  • ¼ teaspoon salt 
  • ⅜ teaspoon pepper

Pro Tip: You can make your own buttermilk using whole or 2% milk and lemon juice or distilled vinegar. For every 1 cup of milk, stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.

HOW TO MAKE THIS KFC COPYCAT COLESLAW RECIPE

STEP ONE: Using a food processor, chop the head of cabbage, pulsing until finely chopped. For best results, it might be helpful to work in small batches to make sure the cabbage isn’t pulverized but just chopped up into small squares. The same can be done with the carrot. Place cabbage and carrot in a medium or large bowl. 

PRO TIP: The easy way to chop cabbage is in the food processor, but you can also chop it by hand if you prefer.

STEP TWO: In a separate small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients to make the KFC coleslaw dressing. Mix until smooth. Pour over the cabbage/carrot mixture and stir. Don’t be concerned if it seems a bit dry at first. The moisture from the cabbage will be drawn out before too long. 

STEP THREE: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows for the dressing and the moisture from the cabbage to meld well. Stir before serving.

Funeral Potatoes

PREP TIME 10 minutes

COOK TIME 1 hour 5 minutes

TOTAL TIME 1 hour 15 minutes

SERVINGS 6

Ingredients 

  • 1 large 30-oz package of traditional frozen hash browns (take out of the freezer 20 mins prior to cooking)
  • 1/2 large yellow onion chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 tablespoons chives we used freeze dried but you can use fresh too
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup or click on the link in the paragraph above for a homemade condensed cream of chicken soup recipe
  • 1 1/2 cups French’s Fried Onions crushed
  • 2 cups nacho cheese Doritos crushed
  • I used a large gallon size bag and a rolling pin to crush my French’s Onions and Doritos.

Instructions 

  • In a medium skillet heat 1 tablespoon butter and cook your onion until soft (about 5 mins)
  • In a large mixing bowl combine your hash browns, salt, black pepper, chives, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup and your cooked onion. Stir well. It may take some serious arm muscle to work this all together if your hash browns are still frozen but should mix easily if thawed.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°. Put your potato mixture into a 9×13 casserole dish and cook in the oven for 30 minutes. Take out and stir the whole casserole well. Put back in the oven and continue to cook until it’s bubbling on the sides and in the middle, about 20-30 more minutes depending on your oven. Once it’s bubbling in the middle you know it’s done.
  • Take the casserole out of the oven and sprinkle your crushed onion and Dorito mixture on the top. Put back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes but watch carefully so the topping doesn’t burn.
  • Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

  • In a large bowl, stir together the cookie mix, melted butter, and egg until fully combined.
  • Separate the cookie dough evenly into four small mixing bowls.
  • To each bowl, knead in 3 Tablespoons of each color of flavored gelatin. You should have four different colored doughs when you finish. (I found it was easier to use my hands for this part)

  • Scoop out the cookies using a 2 Tablespoon cookie scoop and roll them into balls. Roll them in the sugar until completely covered.
