Swaps and substitutions

For dairy-free needs, use plant-based sour cream, cream cheese and shredded cheeses, and choose a non-dairy sauce base if available. For wheat-free eating, swap the pasta and breadcrumbs for gluten-free versions; the ribs and slaw elements can stay the same.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad or roasted broccoli to cut the richness, plus cornbread or warm rolls if you want a fuller plate. A tangy pickle relish or extra slaw on the side also helps balance the smoky, spicy flavors.
