Slice onions and seperate.

Cook bacon, I cooked more than the required 3 slices, but only used 3 slices for the recipe. SAVE the bacon grease!

3.

|
Add onions to bacon grease and mix well. Cover and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes. Uncover, and cook an additional 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Onions will start to become a golden brown and it will look like a lot less than what you started with.
