Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds yellow onions peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rings
  • 4 slices bacon cooked crispy and crumbled

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Arrange the sliced onions evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the crumbled bacon, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, melted butter, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Pour the mixture evenly over the sliced onions in the baking dish, making sure to coat them well.
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the onions are tender and lightly caramelized. Stir halfway through the uncovered baking time for even cooking.
  • Serve hot as a delicious side dish.

Notes

These Tennessee Onions are a fantastic accompaniment to roasted chicken, pork tenderloin, or a classic steak dinner. For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the sauce mixture.
