Ingredients:

8 ounces bacon (6 to 8 strips)

2 tablespoons butter

1 medium-sweet onion, chopped

1 medium red onion, chopped

2 tablespoons Karo® Dark Corn Syrup

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 cup sour cream

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

¼ cup diced green onions

Crumbled bacon and green onions (optional garnish)

 

Directions:

Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon to paper towel−lined plate to cool; crumble. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease from skillet. Add butter to skillet with bacon grease. Stir in sweet and red onions and cook over medium heat until soft (about 5 minutes), stirring frequently. Stir in 1 tablespoon corn syrup. Continue to cook for 10 to 15 minutes until onions are caramelized. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon corn syrup, vinegar and crumbled bacon. Mix well and remove from heat. If needed, drain any excess grease. Let mixture cool for 20 minutes.

 

Beat sour cream and cream cheese in a bowl with hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Stir in green onions. Stir in caramelized onion and bacon mixture and mix well. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve. Garnish with additional bacon and green onions, if desired.

 

Recipe Note: While dark corn syrup is preferred, light corn syrup may be substituted if desired.
