Crack Slaw

Have you heard of Crack Slaw?  I had not and I saw a whole thread buzzing about it on Facebook a few months back and had to get in on the action.  It is a healthy way to get your asian cuisine at home.  It is basically one part sautéed ground meat, your choice of one or a mix of beef, turkey, chicken or pork and two parts shredded vegetables or coleslaw mixes dressed with coconut aminos, which is a healthy soy sauce alternative, and sriracha hot sauce. It is really good and so easy!

Crack Slaw is a healthier way to have Asian at home!

If you look it up on-line a ton of recipes pop up and many are for low-carb , paleo, whole food diets.  I combined a few and put what I do below in the recipe box.  It is one of those recipes you kind of just throw together and adjust the taste as you go.  For this post, I made a huge batch with a mix of one pound each of ground chicken and turkey, one whole onion sliced, a bag of coleslaw mix, and a bag of broccoli slaw.  It works well with beef or a meatloaf mix too.  I have throw in peppers, asparagus, sliced Brussels sprouts .. really anything you have on hand.  We have also served it in lettuce wraps.  It is a great weeknight dinner when you don’t have a lot of time and want something flavorful and healthy.  Enjoy!
