Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Bake Bacon

Here's an easier (and less messy) way to cook bacon, especially when cooking for a crowd. Separate bacon, then place in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 350ºF for 10 to 12 min. or until crisp, turning slices over after 6 min. Thick-sliced bacon will take about 18 min. When cooking 1 lb. of bacon, you may need to use two baking sheets.

If you love bleu cheese you will LOVE this coleslaw! Its a perfect side for a summer BBQ! :) I added a bit more dressing. GREAT!

This is delicious! A nice change from traditional coleslaw. We're having it with our Thanksgiving dinner.

I can understand bacon with blue cheese and I can understand blue cheese with cole slaw mix, but bacon with cole slaw just seemed odd and made the dish cost more. I can understand the red pepper for the color and texture, but I would be more inclined to add some shredded red cabbage, red onions, and/or radishes if that didn't offer enough red, maybe a sprinkle of paprika.

This was excellent! I made it for a picnic and everyone loved it - especially the guys! I tried it because my family loves blue cheese - and this did not disappoint! I made another batch the next day because the picnic batch disappeared so quickly I hardly had a chance to taste it!

This is fabulous! I have made it for a Memorial Day family gathering and several other times. My husband wants it at least once a week. So good and easy. I will probably never make cole slaw with normal slaw dressing again. This is the best.

Delicious! Didn't taste like a typical coleslaw at all. Everyone loved it.

I love blue cheese and I love cloe slaw, but this combination was not good. The blue cheese taste was too strong. It would be better with just coleslaw dressing and blue cheese crumbles.
