Step 1
To start your delicious slaw, grab a large bowl and toss in the shredded cabbage, chopped green bell pepper, finely chopped onion, and shredded carrots.

Heat this mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolvedāthis should only take about a minute.
Step 8
Once itās all combined, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool completely.
Step 9
When the dressing has cooled, pour it over the drained cabbage mixture in your large bowl.
Step 10
Give everything a good toss to ensure the slaw is evenly coated with that delicious dressing.
Step 11
Now, itās time to store your slaw for later enjoyment! Spoon the slaw into resealable plastic bags, making sure to squeeze out any excess air before sealing them up.
