Hot Bacon Dressing recipe

• 2 ounces bacon grease
• 1/4 pound red onion, finely diced
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch

Using the insides of the red onion, finely dice. Place the bacon grease in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté until the onions start to blacken.

While the onions are caramelizing, place the water, honey and red wine vinegar in a mixing bowl. 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 mix to the mustard mix. Continue stirring until mix thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and store in refrigerator until needed.

NOTE: To reheat use a double boiler.

Broccoli Bites recipe

• 3 eggs
• 6 ounces shredded Monterey jack cheese
• 6 ounces shredded Colby cheese
• 1 (16 ounce) box frozen chopped broccoli, thawed, drained and dried
• 2 1/2 ounces bacon pieces
• 1/2 ounce diced yellow onion
• 1 ounce all-purpose flour
• Italian bread crumbs as needed

Drain thawed broccoli thoroughly by pressing through a strainer. Beat eggs in a mixing bowl with a whisk until well blended. Place all the ingredients into a plastic container, except the bread crumbs. Stir together with a spatula until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate mixture for about 1 hour. This will help to bind the mix making preparation much easier.

Heat about 4 cups oil in a fryer or deep pan for frying at 350 degrees F. Set up a shallow pan with bread crumbs. Scoop about 1/2 ounce portion of the broccoli mixture into the bread crumbs. Form each portion into a ball and coat it well. Place broccoli bites into the fry basket or frying pan. Make sure they do not stick together. Fry for one minute, then remove and place onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve with Honey Mustard Dressing
