My mom's killed lettuce recipe is very simple and basic. Growing up in the North Carolina mountains, everyone knew what killed lettuce was and how to fix it. In the South, it is usually served with pinto beans and cornbread.
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 greens onions , chopped
- 1 head leaf lettuce - rinsed , dried, and torn into bite-sized pieces
Instructions

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble; set aside.

2
Add green onions to bacon grease; cook and stir until onions reach desired tenderness, about 1 minute. Pour onions and bacon grease over lettuce; toss lightly. Top with crumbled bacon and serve.

The Sarge's Goetta - German Breakfast Treat
This goetta recipe is of German origin, and I have never seen it anywhere except in the Greater Cincinnati Metro area. I typically make this once a year when winter is coming. To serve, slice into thin slices and fry like bacon.

Chef John's Pulled Pork BBQ
Use your favorite dry rub and barbecue sauce to make this succulent pulled pork barbecue. A little trick I like is to put two ramekins with liquid smoke flavoring in with the meat and roast it slowly. Do your patriotic American duty and serve this pork on the cheapest, lightest white hamburger buns you can find.
