GRANDMA'S WILTED LETTUCE WITH HOT BACON DRESSING
When my Grandma Hallie passed in 1984, I mourned MANY things about this wonderful woman. But it wasn't until the next spring, when leaf lettuce came up, that I realized I had never asked her how to make Wilted Lettuce. Over the next 30 years, I would try one recipe after another, but none of them were quite right until a lovely...

Steps:
- 1. If you are making Wilted Lettuce, put the eggs on to cook, then wash the leaf lettuce carefully. I remove all hard parts, like the spine, of the leaves. Put the leaves in a salad spinner to remove the excess water, or allow the leaves to drain in a colander lined with paper towels. Chop some onion and set aside. When the eggs have cooked about 15 minutes in boiling water, drain the water, and refill the pan with cool water to allow the eggs to cool. Assemble the lettuce leaves and chopped onion in a large salad bowl. Chop the eggs and set aside. THEN prepare the Hot Bacon Dressing.
- 2. Fry the diced bacon until crispy, then remove the bacon to a paper towel to drain. Reserve about 1 1/2 Tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet and remove the rest.
- 3. While the diced bacon is frying, stir together the sugar, flour, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- 4. Add the sugar mixture to the 1 1/2 Tablespoons of hot bacon grease, cooking over medium heat and stirring.
- 5. Add the vinegar and water and stir constantly, bringing it to a boil. Boil about 2 minutes, until slightly thickened. (If too thick, add a little water.)
- 6. Remove from heat and cool until warm. Pour over lettuce & onion, tossing the salad until coated and wilted. (The hotter the dressing, the more it will wilt. Your call.) Top with the chopped hardboiled eggs and crispy diced bacon. Dinner is served! =^..^=

Steps:
- Place the bacon grease in a saucepan over medium high heat.
- Add the onions and saute until the onions start to blacken. While the onions are caramelizing, in a mixing bowl place the water, honey, pepper sauce, and red wine vinegar.
- Using a wire whisk, mix the ingredients well.
- Add the cornstarch and whisk well. After the onions have caramelized, add the Dijon mustard to the onions and stir together with a rubber spatula.
- Add the water, vinegar, pepper sauce, honey and cornstarch to the mustard and onions and mix.
- Continue stirring until mix thickens and comes to a boil.
- Remove from heat and store in refrigerator until needed.
- To reheat use a double boiler.
Tips:
- Use good quality bacon: The better the bacon, the better the dressing will be. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of marbling.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy: This will help to render out the fat and give the dressing a rich flavor.
- Use a variety of vinegars: Different vinegars will give the dressing a different flavor profile. Try using a combination of red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, and apple cider vinegar.
- Add some sweetness to the dressing: This can be done with honey, maple syrup, or even brown sugar.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper: This will help to balance out the flavors.
- Let the dressing cool slightly before using it: This will help to prevent the dressing from separating.
Conclusion:
Hot bacon dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you are looking for a new salad dressing, give hot bacon dressing a try. You won't be disappointed!
