Preparation

Step 1

PREPARATION
1. Cook bacon in a deep, medium skillet until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Pour off all but 2 Tbsp drippings from pan. Add onion and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes, or until golden.


2. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, 25 minutes, or until mixture thickens. Sprinkle with bacon and serve.


Planning Tip: The bacon can be cooked and the dish can be assembled in the morning. Refrigerate bacon until using.
