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.
