Hot Bacon Dressing.....*Sigh*

Hot Bacon Dressing

(The name says it all)

I have a serious love for Hot Bacon Dressing. It brings back so many good memories of growing up. My family used to go out for a meal (all eight of us) at Marie Callender's about twice a month. We would sit at the same table by the fireplace and I always got the salad bar and loaded that puppy up. The last thing was their delicious Hot Bacon Dressing, it was to die for.  I was so full every time we left but always had room for an ice cream at 31 flavors. Good memories and fun times. 

We ended up moving and Marie Callender's got new management and the dressing went away. Lot's of unhappy customers (especially me) and with all the changes it was never the same. So, I was beyond myself with excitement when I ran across this recipe. Finally, I can have my favorite dressing again. If you haven't tried it before you are in for a treat. 

Spinach salad or whatever you like on your salad is all you need. I used to put blue cheese (clink on link for world greatest blue cheese recipe) on the salad and then the Hot Bacon Dressing. *Sigh* Life is good. 







I personally would add chopped red onions to the Ingredients.

Whether you are a Hot Bacon Dressing lover from Marie Callender's or a beginner who has never tried it, I hope this makes you as happy as it has made me. I promise, you will love it! Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday.
