Servings: 2-4
Course: Pork & Sausage, Salads, Vegetables
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 head of lettuce (can use more if needed)
  • a few slices of red onion, very very thinly sliced (some days i omit this layer
  • and call it a 6 layer salad )
  • 10 ounce package frozen peas, thawed or partially thawed
  • 1 – 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon or more of sugar
  • 1/4 – 1/2 pound of fried bacon, crumbled
  • 1 cup or more grated cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. use a 8X8 or 9X9 square type pan.
  2. in a small bowl combine mayonnaise and use sugar sparingly. You just want to use enough sugar to cut the mayonnaise a bit. (When I made the mayonnaise mix, I used 2 cups of the mayonnaise and then it took about 3 teaspoons of sugar before it was satisfactory. So, you may need more than just the 1 teaspoon of sugar.)
  3. Then just do layers of each. Starting with the lettuce.
