Hot Bacon Dressing

Ingredients:
8 slices bacon
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup white vinegar
Directions:
1. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt, and slowly pour in water and vinegar, whisking constantly.
3. In a medium skillet, add the crumbled bacon and pour the vinegar mixture over it. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. ( I think you can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste)

Sue, that's like my mother made for wilted lettuce. Is there anything else it is good on? I love the taste!

Well, Jasdip, we did it again. LOL! We were a minute apart today! I'm moving my post over here to yours. This is the potato recipe I'm making for lunch. Some people made it with cheddar and had great results, so I think it's more the method of cooking them than the recipe. POTATOES AU GRATIN WITH GRUYERE (Serves 10) 2 1/2 cup(s) half-and-half or light cream 1/3 teaspoon(s) ground redÃ¯Â¿Â¼ pepper (cayenne) 1 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt 3 3/4 pound(s) (3 medium) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced 7 1/2 ounce(s) Gruyere cheese, shredded (3/4 cup) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In 3-quart saucepan, combine half-and-half, ground red pepper, and salt; heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until half-and-half mixture thickens slightly, stirring gently with heat-safe spatula. Transfer half of potato mixture to greased casserole; sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup Gruyere. Top with remaining potato mixture and remaining Gruyere. Bake gratin 35 to 40 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender and top is golden.

SOUR CREAM SPICE CAKE WITH CARAMEL FROSTING 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar 1 cup sour cream 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup water 2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. baking powder 3/4 tsp. ground cloves 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg 2 large eggs FROSTING 3/4 cup butter 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar 3/8 cup milk 3 cups powdered sugar Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour the bottom and sides of two 9-inch round pans and then line with parchment paper. In a large bowl, beat all cake ingredients with an electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping the bowl constantly. Beat on high speed 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter evenly into pans. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pans on wire rack, about 1 hour. Remove cake from pans. To make the frosting, melt butter over medium heat in a 2-quart saucepan. Stir in brown sugar. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly; reduce heat to low. Boil and stir 2 minutes. Stir in milk. Heat to boiling; remove from heat. Cool to lukewarm, about 30 minutes. Gradually stir in powdered sugar. Beat with spoon until smooth and spreadable. If frosting becomes too stiff, stir in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time. Place one cake layer, rounded side down, on serving plate or cake stand. Place 4 strips of waxed paper underneath around the edge of plate. Spread about 1/2 cup frosting over the top of the first layer. Place second layer, rounded side up, on frosted first layer. Coat side of cake with a very thin layer of frosting to seal in crumbs. Continue frosting the sides and top of cake. Carefully remove waxed paper strips. Serves 16.

Thanks, Jasdip. I need that! I'm not totally against canned soup because they make life so darned easy, but your recipe sounds much better. Here's a low fat version of red beans and rice, which I love! I won't use a Scotch bonnet pepper though--way too hot! I'll try a little jalapeno instead. JAMACIAN RED BEANS AND RICE (Ginas Skinny Taste) Servings: 10 Serving Size: 3/4 cup Old Points: 4 pts Points+: 5 pts Calories: 192.4 Fat: 3 g Protein: 4.9 g Carb: 35.4 g Fiber: 2.6 g Sugar: 0.7 g Sodium: 133.4 mg (without salt) 1 tsp coconut oil (or canola) 1 garlic clove, crushed 1/4 cup onion, minced 1 scallion, chopped 1 sprig fresh thyme 15.5 oz can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained 2 cups uncooked long grain rice salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste 2 1/4 cups water 13.5 oz can (1 3/4 cups) light coconut milk 1 whole scotch bonnet hot pepper (not chopped) In a medium heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; add garlic, scallion, onion Add the coconut milk, water, salt and fresh pepper and place the whole scotch bonnet pepper in the pot, stir to combine and bring to a boil. Remove and discard the hot pepper and continue to cook the rice until almost all the liquid is absorbed and just skims the top. Cover; reduce heat to low; simmer for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered for 10 additional minutes to allow the steam to finish cooking the rice (do not be tempted to lift the lid before that). Makes 7-1/2 cups. Be careful handling the pepper--they are extremely hot.

I read this posting every day and have gotten some great recipes but this is my first venture into posting my own. This is one of my all time favorite recipes. I always have a couple cans of salmon in the cupboard and usually some ready made pie crusts in the freezer. This one tastes so good! We have half one night and half for leftovers another. Salmon Foldover Pie 2 TBS. butter 1 med sized onion, chopped (about a cup) 1 celery stalk, chopped (1/3 cup) 1 tsp. dried dill 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 can(15oz) salmon, drained and flaked 2 eggs 1 cup dry bread crumbs 2 9-inch pie crusts Preheat the oven to 375. In a skillet heat the butter and saute the onion and celery for 5 to 8 minutes, or until soft. Remove from heat and add the dill, soup, salmon, 1 egg, and bread crumbs: mix until well combined. Place each pie crust on a cookie sheet and place half the salmon mixture on one side of each crust about 1 inch from the edge. Beat the remaining egg and brush the edges of the dough with it. Fold the dough over the salmon and pinch the edges together to seal. Prick the top with a fork. Brush the dough with the egg and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown.

patti: That dressing is very similar to one used on Hot German Potato Salad, except the amount of sugar is quite a bit less.

Sue's Hot Bacon Dressing is a variation of what many put on dandelion greens. Mmmmmm, could I go for some now! In recent years, I have used endive as a substitute, but those back yard 'weeds' are the best.

Patti, I came on-line looking for a meat pie in a single crust and lo and behold here you were. This looks really tasty.

Haha, Barb-45, we aim to please. This one is pretty good, too. It's really a quiche, but my picky eater wouldn't eat quiche, but she loved pie :-)

Hamburger Pie

1 (9 inch) pie shell, unbaked
1/2 lb. ground beef
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 c. milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 c. onions, diced
1/3 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
Dash of red pepper sauce
1 (4 oz.) can mushroom pieces, drained
3/4 c. Swiss cheese, shredded

Prick bottom and sides of the ie shell with a fork. Bake at 450 degrees for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 350. Brown ground beef and onion. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon; set aside. Mix soup, milk, eggs , spices and pepper sauce. Add meat, mushrooms and cheese. Pour into shell and bake 60 minutes or until knife comes out clean.

Gazania, my grandmother used to pick all kinds of tender young weeds in the spring--queen anne's lace, mustard, dandelion and I forget what all. She'd wash them in her big sink 3 or 4 times and cook them like you would mustard greens or turnip greens. Sure were good.

Yes, the hot bacon dressing would be good on wilted lettuce, dandelion greens, spinach and lots of things I would think, even German potato salad.

I made wilted lettuce at work one day. We had a lot of extra lettuce. One girl told me she loved it. All of the senior meal people liked it. I had never tasted it before and I though it was good. I gave the rest of it to the girl who said she loved it and it was her new favorite kind of dressing. My dressing recipe was very similar to yours but I dont think mine had that much sugar but I'm not sure
