You have got to wrap your hands around a juicy grilled hamburger topped with tangy brown sugar + vinegar cabbage slaw. If you have never had Southern-Style Slaw Burgers, try our easy at-home recipe. We'll give you a quick shortcut on this fast + delicious meal plus a little history behind this one-of-a-kind hamburger.
Enjoy Southern Slaw Burgers at Home
While my home state of Tennessee is home to the Slawburger Festival, and the Carolina burger features a helping of chili and slaw, the roots of these hamburger recipes can likely be traced back to the Dominican Republic.
There is even a song with the mention of the famous Slaw Burger (country girl problem), if that gives you any idea of how yummy this creation is.
Personally? I think a hamburger lends itself to putting other things on top of it. It was only a matter of time before a sandwich genius figured out that sweet + sour vinegar cabbage slaw would taste like a million bucks on top of a juicy beef patty.
Our recipe uses two short cuts to make this meal easy to create any time. Weeknight Fast and Weekend Tasty, spur of the moment yum. Summer is for carefree cookouts and get-togethers— with Ball Park® SteakhouseTM Burgers and Kroger, you can focus on fun, family and friends and not meal prep.
Plus these tasty burgers have that grilled flavor you love and can be prepared four different ways (microwave, oven, skillet or grill).
TIP: While you've got the grill going, throw on a few Ball Park Franks. This slaw recipe tastes amazing on a Slaw Dog, too!

To make the homemade mustard slaw for Slaw Burgers:
- Stir together vinegar, brown sugar, water, mustard and spices in a small sauce pan.
- Heat the mixture to a low boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
- Pour the tangy liquid over cabbage and vegetables.
- The hot vinegar mixture quickly infuses all of that sweet + tangy flavor into the cabbage.
- Chill.

Yummy! Slaw is always nice because provides a nice texture and add more flavor to the bite. Didn't know Ballpark had burgers need to look for these at my store!

This slaw sounds fabulous -- love that you heat the ingredients before adding them to the veggies. Must make them so flavorful. I can think of dozens of things I'd add this to -- not to mention the burger!
