Directions
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place the. bacon into a preheated 10.25 inch skillet and cook over low-medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
2. Combine the ranch dressing, garlic powder, chili sauce, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a separate, medium-sized bowl. Whisk to combine. Toss in the coleslaw mix. Refrigerate until needed.
3. Mix meat and 1/2 cup BBQ sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
4. Remove all the bacon drippings from skillet, retaining about 2 tablespoons. Put skillet in the oven to preheat.
5. Combine the cornbread mix with milk in a small mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Stir in chopped onion and pour half the batter into the skillet. Add the BBQ meat to the skillet, placing the meat about an inch from the sides of the skillet. Spread it evenly. Spoon the remaining batter around the edges of the BBQ to form a crust. Bake 16-18 minutes until golden brown.
6. Stir the bacon into the coleslaw, then spoon the coleslaw over the BBQ, leaving the crust exposed. Drizzle the remaining BBQ sauce over the coleslaw. Cut into 4 equal portions and serve immediately.
Pro Tip: When you add the first half of the batter, tilt the skillet around to evenly spread the batter.
