Ingredients

  • 4 Circle B Ranch Hickory Smoked bacon
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 sweet onions halved and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon dry sherry
  • 1/4 teaspoon Hot Sauce
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere Cheese
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Cook bacon in a 375 degree oven. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Crumble.

  3. Add onions, sugar, and salt to olive oil 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 hot sauce. 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.
