Sheila, Only the greens are used when making
dandelion with a hot bacon dressing. Here is a hot
bacon dressing recipe i copied years ago from a
Lancaster newspaper.

Berks county Hot Bacon dressing

8 slices bacon or more
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs beaten
2 cups water
1/2 cup vinegar

Fry bacon, drain and crumble. In top of double boiler
stir together the sugar, salt and cornstarch place over
water in bottom of double boiler Add beaten egg and
vinegar mixing well,add water, some of the bacon fat
may also be added as well. Cook over medium heat
untill thickened, Serve on dendelion or lettuce. We Pa.
dutch people like to put the danelion into the hot
dressing and allow it to wilt and then eat it over potatos
fried from raw not cooked potatoes, or some eat it over
boiled potatoes. This is an early spring dish. and the
dandelion is not as bitter before it blooms as it is latter
on. I hope this will be helpful, This recipe is a fairly
sweet recipe but some people like it more sour. We
especially like this recipe. Enjoy
