Sweet & Spicy Coleslaw

This is a recipe from Down Home with the Neelys on the Food Network. The couple is a little too sugar-sweet on TV, but they have some awesome recipes. This slaw will knock the socks off of any other impostor. Nothing can really hold a candle to it, once you try it. And, it is super easy to make, and it actually freezes pretty well.

2 pounds green cabbage (I always use a mix of green & red equaling about 2 lbs, because it just looks prettier)
4 carrots
1 medium onion
1/2 c mayonnaise
1/4 c prepared yellow mustard
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 c sugar
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp (or more) cayenne pepper
salt & pepper to taste

Cut cabbages into quarters and remove core. Peel carrots, chunk onions. Feed veggies into a food processor with large-hole grater blade attached. In a large bowl, toss the veggies together to mix. In a smaller bowl, combine the dressing ingredients and season with cayenne/salt & pepper to taste. Pour dressing over veggies and mix well. Cover and chill at least 2 hours before serving, and just prior to serving, re-toss to mix, as the mixture/cabbage will have seeped out more liquid.

Great on barbecue sandwiches and hot dogs.
