Servings: 0
Ingredients
- 1 lb. thick-cut bacon cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces
- 2 cups yellow onion diced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more as needed
- 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 3 cups chicken broth divided
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Place the bacon pieces in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the bacon starts to brown.
- Add the onion and salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion has browned, about 5 minutes. Add the sugar and stir to combine.
- Add 1 cup of the broth or stock and bring it to a simmer, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and almost all of the liquid has evaporated, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the remaining broth, molasses, and cayenne pepper and stir to combine. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to reach room temperature.
