Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1 pound thick cut bacon
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 small sweet onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
¾ cup dark brown sugar
¼ cup molasses
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard powder

How to Bake

In a large nonstick skillet or cast iron pan, cook bacon until crisp and fat is rendered.

Remove the bacon and most of the fat (leave about 3 tablespoons of bacon fat in your pan). Add the pepper flakes, onion and garlic to the pan and sauté over medium low heat until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

Roughly chop your cooled bacon. Once your onions are fully caramelized add in the bacon and the rest of your ingredients and bring to a simmer.

Cook for 30-45 minutes, allow to cool then top on your Mason Dixie Breakfast Sandwich and enjoy!
