INSTRUCTIONS

- 2 Bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with 1/2 of the brown sugar Hot Sauce mixture. Bake 10 minutes longer or until bacon is crispy and caramelized, turning halfway and brushing with remaining brown sugar mixture. Cool completely. Coarsely chop; set aside until ready to serve.
- 3 For the Blue Cheese Dressing, place all ingredients in blender container; cover. Blend on high speed until well mixed and smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- 4 To assemble Wedge Salad, place 1 wedge of lettuce on each serving plate. Top with tomatoes and Candied Bacon. Drizzle with Spiked Blue Cheese Dressing. Garnish with green onions and blue cheese crumbles, if desired.
- 5 Test Kitchen Tip: Both Old Bay® Hot Sauce Candied Bacon and Spiked Blue Cheese Dressing are great for other dishes. Try candied bacon on burgers or in grilled cheese. Drizzle Spiked Dressing on your favorite salad or use as a dip for wings.
