Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 onions sliced
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 slices bacon diced
- 1 tsp coarse salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/8 tsp chili powder or more for heat
- 1 tsp brown sugar
Instructions
- In a cast iron pan over medium heat, add diced bacon and cook down. Leave grease in pan.
- Add sliced onions with butter and seasonings into the pan. Once butter melts stir so onions are coated.
- Every few minutes stir them so they cook down, soften, and absorb the bacon grease and butter flavors. Once they're a nice golden rich color use a slotted spoon to remove and serve immediately for best results.
- Timing may vary depending on how soft and brown you want them: from 25 min to 60
