I prefer a vinegar slaw. holds up better at a picnic.
That's where tweaking or changes of recipes can come in to play. If you hit on the link at the bottom of the page you will see the 12 other coleslaw recipes including:
Vinegar-based slaws are lighter than their creamier cousins, and they always pack a tangy flavor punch. Vinegar coleslaw goes great on sandwiches, pulled pork, or any other meat, and they're a great option for those who don't prefer to eat mayo. Try one of these favorite simple faves today!

None taken at all this whole thread is about the exchange of ideas and recipes.
I've always liked to cook since my days in the Scouts and beyond but especially when it comes to guys, football, tailgating and more. Many guys will try and cook something if you just show them how to do it.
SO bon appetit and eat well ! I have one more recipe that i have and have got good early comments on......soon !

I understand. My mom got me in the kitchen at a young age. It's been a passion or hobby of mine since a young age. I have dedicated 2 weeks of vacation to go to a cooking school, 1 in NYC, 1 in Florence, Italy.

Another favorite GAMEDAY, PICNIC or family recipe but this one has a Southern style it's SOUTHERN BAKED BEANS ! With just 7 ingredients and 3 steps easy.
And check
️ out the Notes below for a soup version of this recipe.
SERVES 6 COOK TIME 50 MINUTESDifferent regions of the country have their own way of making baked beans. This recipe for Southern Baked Beans is cooked up Southern-style, which means that it's flavored with classic ingredients that add just a bit of sweetness.

- 1 (12-ounce) jar chili sauce <--- special ingredient
- 3/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar. <--- and of course
- 2 teaspoons ground mustard
️ What to Do.... pretty simple, huh !
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
-
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Pour into baking dish.
- Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until beans are bubbly and sauce has thickened.
️ Notes.. I also have this recipe, an old favorite baked beans and hot dogs. Mmm.
Here's a way to turn our franks and beans into a tasty and hearty soup we call Beanie Weenie Soup ! -

Happy Memorial Day
~~~~~~~~~~ ?? ~~~~~~~~~~
And time to remember everyone who has made it possible including our fathers Lou and Mike.
★ We are having barbecued chicken with homemade barbecue sauce and all the fixings.
How about you ?
With just the two of us, we skip the fixing at home deal and go out.
Yesterday we went to Pucketts and each had a half slab of Memphis dry rub ribs. I had collards and baked beans, she had baked beans and tater salad as the sides. We both like Memphis dry rubbed ribs. Not as messy. If you want some sauce, add a thin line on the edge.

Down here there's always a roll of paper towels on the table and butcher paper underneath so you can eat sloppy ole BBQ ribs with lotsa sauce all over 'em.? And if you don't grab a little hand cleaner packet or 4 on your way out, then ya just didn't eat 'em right.?

OK this is my wife's mother's old HELEN'S HOMEMADE BARBECUE SAUCE we've always liked it. Remember its a good idea to double the quantities to make a little more.
NOTE: one typed page is just the ingredients page the second hand written page are my wife's instructions. Oh and you get a bonus HELEN'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE.

So here it is, and any questions or comments just let me know.
Bon Appétit !

I hope that you enjoy it. Oh a little background information on our family and cooking, my grandmother was the best cook I've ever known and worked as a cook on and off her whole life. My mother used to cook for her 5 boys, dad, her, my grandfather, 8 of us "army style " big meals on a budget.
My wife Nancy I can honestly say is now besides cooking with her mother is now a "scratch" cook. I'm a good cook she's much better. We both enjoy watching cooking shows -but- she watches even more than I do.
And Helen, her mother a full blooded Ukrainian, she just passed away in 2019 at 95 and would have lived to be 100+ if she didn't slip and fall and broke her hip. An amazing lady and cook, she used to make I'm not kidding full blown Christmas and Easter meals for us until she was 93 +/-. Ham, kielbasa, Helen's incredible breaded baked chicken (ummm-mmm), scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes, * her deviled eggs, * homemade Paska bread, vegetables, dessert and then some.....all by herself. OMG.
Well my wife now a retired nurse just told me that her mother used to make Helen's Spaghetti Sauce when she was a kid, that simple but good recipe may have come from her grandmother or earlier.
SO food is meant to be enjoyed and shared, that's why I started this favorite GAMEDAY foods forum on another board about 17+ years ago and continued it here. I also have a private friends and family recipe email that we enjoy.
And Bon Appétit..... exclamation used as a salutation to a person about to eat. Or good appetite : enjoy your meal.

I grew up on real deal Italian food... It is a SIN to add sugar to the sauce... Use more Onions... Same effect without all of the gas Sugar can give you...

That is one point that I've heard before, one person's secret ingredient is another's never go there.
It's why cooking is such a subjective thing so whether it's manga or whatever enjoy cooking !
And don't be afraid to try new things.

I just clicked around BEST EVER Homemade Italian Spaghetti Sauce, most are basically like this :
( *from a typical recipe...This homemade spaghetti sauce recipe was passed down from my Sicilian grandma. It has been used for generations, and you can’t mess it up! It is really easy and tastes SO much better than the store-bought sauce. I love that you can make this in a crock-pot, too (my favorite crockpot is this one!); no need to spend hours babysitting the stove making sure it doesn’t burn.... )
Ingredients....* NOTE: this is basically how you make homemade spaghetti sauce. * Great for a GAMEDAY side dish, a get-together or a family meal. Oh I'm often rereading and tweaking recipes or posts.
- 2 TSBP olive oil
- 1/2 onion finely chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic minced
- 3 28 oz. cans of Crushed Tomatoes either regular or with basil, oregano and garlic 28 oz. sized cans OR 12-15 fresh tomatoes (peeled, chopped and blended in a food processor)
- 1 Tbsp Salt
- 4 Tbsp Basil
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 Tbsp Sugar optional <--- note the optional ingredient, my mother-in-law 3 TBSP
- 1/3 cup Grated Parmesan or Romano Cheese
