How to Make Bennigan's Hot Bacon Dressing

  1. Place 1/4 cup bacon grease in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced, and sauté until deeply caramelized and slightly blackened, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. While the onions caramelize, whisk together 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon your favorite hot pepper sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot), and 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar in a medium bowl.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons cornstarch to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.
  5. Once the onions are caramelized, stir in 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard using a rubber spatula.
  6. Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the saucepan with the caramelized onions and mustard. Stir constantly.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and let cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Reheat gently in a double boiler or microwave before serving.
