Authentic Appalachian Mountain Killed Lettuce

Gather the ingredients. Wash greens thoroughly. Set aside in a colander to drain, then pat dry with toweling; put them in a serving bowl. Put the sliced onion and bacon drippings in a small skillet. Place the skillet over medium heat and cook the onion until it is softened. Pour the onions and hot bacon grease over the greens; toss to coat the greens thoroughly. Add cooked diced bacon, crushed red pepper flakes, or Texas Pete, as desired. Serve and enjoy!
