Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon to paper towels, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings in pan.
  2. In drippings, saute onions over medium heat until softened. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook until deep golden brown, 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in vinegar and brown sugar.
