 Categories: Greens, Pork, Vegetables
      Yield: 5 Servings

MMMMM-------------------HOT BACON DRESSING:--------------------------
      3 sl Bacon; thick-cut
    1/4 c  White sugar
      1 tb A-P flour
    1/2 ts Table salt
      1 ds Black pepper
    1/3 c  Apple cider vinegar
      3 tb Water

MMMMM----------------------WILTED LETTUCE----------------------------
      1 lg Bowlful of leaf lettuce
      1 md Brown onion;
           - peeled, chopped
      2 lg Eggs; hardboiled (optional)

  Put the eggs on to cook, then wash the leaf lettuce carefully.
  Remove all hard parts, like the spine, of the leaves. Rinse well to
  remove and grit and dirt remaining for the garden. Allow the leaves
  to drain in a colander lined with paper towels. Chop the 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.

  Fry the diced bacon until crispy, then remove the bacon to a paper
  towel to drain. Reserve about 1-1/2 tb bacon grease in the skillet
  and remove the rest.

  While the diced bacon is frying, stir together the sugar, flour,
  salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

  Add the sugar mixture to the 1-1/2 tb hot bacon grease, cooking
  over medium heat and stirring.

  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.

  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!
