This creamy and cheesy coleslaw loaded with bacon is the perfect side dish for any meal!
How Do I Make Blue Cheese Coleslaw?
This blue cheese coleslaw is made like a regular coleslaw. Chopped cabbage and carrots, mixed with a sweet, tangy dressing loaded with blue cheese crumbles. My favorite part? The bacon pieces that get mixed in. If you’re in a rush though or have no bacon on hand it can absolutely be left out.
We make this coleslaw often and only rarely go through the effort of cooking the bacon to add it in.
How Do I Make A Coleslaw Dressing?
This coleslaw dressing is made with a base of mayonnaise and sour cream. Mixed with a bit of sugar for sweetness and apple cider vinegar for a tangy bite.
Mixed all together this make a creamy dressing that coats the coleslaw mix perfectly. To make this a blue cheese coleslaw we just need to add the blue cheese crumbles. I like to mix some of the crumbles into the dressing and then sprinkle a bit on top as well.

Delicious!!! I used Point Reyes Blue Cheese (the BEST, IMO!) and gauged how much I used because I love blue cheese. I bought a 14 oz bag of the slaw, and gauged how much of it to use as well. I used Stevia in place of the sugar. I served this on top of a barbecue beef roast done in the crock pot and shredded to make sandwiches. The combo of the slaw and the beef roast and the juices from the roast were SO dang good together. Thanks for the recipe!
That sounds absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for the review.
