The heat of the bacon, as you put it, should not do anything to ruin the ranch. There is a vidalia onion salad dressing that I smother chicken with and bake it or put it in the crock pot for hours.

If you are going to try to microwave it the next day, I would only warm it enough to take the chill off ... don't nuke it until bubbling. But, why leave any to reheat the next day when it is so easy to make and too delicious to leave leftovers? ;-)

The goal is always no leftovers, but when you got that much food, and that much other stuff (ribs, steaks, chops, etc), it somehow, someway always winds up with something leftover, and I hate, hate leftover meat (anything veggie, I feel okay about tossing).

I was just worried about trying this out, smothering bacon with either creamy italian dressing or ranch dressing, and it going bad or ruining it, or worse, it having to go back into the fridge and be reheated and that not being possible.

If we can do that, hell, we're going to have some real fun times with different ways to mix bacon and salad dressing......and also new ideas on how to fry everything.
