Crockpot BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Homemade Coleslaw
Can I confess something… I have never made homemade coleslaw before! It is one of those things I would just pick up from the grocery store and never thought to make myself.

I grew up eating grits with eggs and bacon and love when I find them served here in southern California restaurants, which unfortunately isn’t very often. We made this in under 45 minutes – but this if prep and cooking time. And throw in 2 minutes to eat it! Just kidding. But it really is so good it is hard to refrain from eating too quickly. Here is what you’ll need: 4 cups of water salt and…
