      This is delicious. It is not too sweet, like many bacon dressings. I heat this a bit and serve it over everything. I do not add salt as the bacon tends to be salty enough, but taste it and adjust to your liking.
      Years ago a restaurant in Canada called Moxies had a warm bacon dressing that I loved and this is the closest to it that I have found.
      I cut my bacon into bite-sizes pieces first and fry in a pan.
