Bacon and Blue Cheese Slaw

    Last weekend my cooking experiment was Cuban Pulled Pork. A friend of mine sent me the recipe and I wanted a new kind of slaw to go with it. I've already tried Memphis  and BBQ Slaw, so this time I found a new recipe to rework. It called for broccoli slaw, but since that didn't thrill anybody when I tried it last, I just used regular bagged slaw mix. The hubby and I both like Blue Cheese and who doesn't like bacon? So this worked out great. It turned out to be cool, creamy, a little crunchy and with a subtle pop of the blue cheese.
