  • 1

Ingredients

  • ■4 bacon strips
  • ■2 sweet onions, halved and thinly sliced
  • ■1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • ■1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • ■1 tablespoon dry sherry
  • ■1/4 teaspoon tabasco
  • ■1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • ■1 cup shredded Gruyere Cheese
  • ■1/2 cup sour cream
  • ■1/2 cup mayo
  • ■1/4 teaspoon freshly, ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Sweet onion, bacon, gooey cheese all mixed in sour cream and mayo. You can’t go wrong with that.

1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2.Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Crumble.

3.Add onions, sugar, and salt to bacon fat in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until onions turn a deep golden brown color. This can take as long as 20 minutes. If onions start to burn, turn heat down to medium-low.

4.Add sherry and cook 1 minute. Stir in thyme and tabasco. Remove from heat.

5.Mix together sour cream and mayo in a medium bowl. Add crumbled bacon, cheese, onion mixture, and black pepper. Mix together well and transfer to a 2-cup baking dish.

6.Bake 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.
