Hot Bacon Salad and Mushroom Swiss Burger

This morning it was just going to be a regular burger night, but after searching the web and pantry it all came together nicely. 

The burger was seasoned with sea salt and pepper, then fried in a pan. The mushrooms were saute in a teaspoon of bacon grease, and deglazed with white wine.

The real special addition to this meal was the salad, which was covered with delicious Home made Hot Bacon Dressing. This is a sweet and spicy mix that made a second trip to the salad bowl necessary!

Ingredients

1/2 pound bacon, cooked in 1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup minced onions
