1 tsp pepper

In a large skillet, cook bacon until crispy but not burned. Pour coleslaw mix, onion and garlic in and cook until tender. Mix in salt and pepper. Gently stir in cooked and drained noodles. Toss to mix. Serve.

This actually was pretty yummy. We all were wary of it but it tasted pretty good. I only did one bag of slaw mix and half the egg noodles and it was the perfect amount for our family. We had no left overs. The kids ate it with absolutely no complaints but they didn't want more either. My hubby ate a lot of it and really liked it. We didn't feel weighted down and sleepy like we ate too much when we were done but we did feel really hungry when we got up this morning. We liked it and it will probably be served occasionally. To make it more of a vegetarian meal, do not use the bacon and use 1/2 cup butter to fry the veggies instead.
