“Even vegetarians secretly love bacon.” — Anthony Bourdain
We can’t all agree on everything, but we can probably all agree that bacon makes anything tastier.
Bacon mixed with onions and brown sugar is a sinful concoction that adds a sweet salty smoky boost to any dish – and it’s super easy to make.
Start with Benton’s Bacon from the Salty Butcher. Add onions and mix in brown sugar.
Top it on goat cheese, burgers, crackers, mix it in pasta.
This bacon onion jam is the jam.
