Warm Bacon Endive Dressing
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min.
YIELD: 10-12 servings.
My husband loves his mom's endive dressing, so I asked her to share the recipe with me. When I make this salad, I usually serve it with boiled potatoes and sliced smoked ham.

1/2 pound bacon strips, diced

1 medium onion, chopped

2 tablespoons sugar

3 bunches curly endive, torn (about 12 cups)

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. Set bacon aside. Saute the onion in the drippings until tender. Add the sugar, cornstarch, salt and vinegar; stir until smooth. Gradually stir in the milk until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat.
