Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup chopped onion

- 1 tablespoon sliced jalapeno pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

and drain on paper towels. Reserve 1/2 tablespoon bacon drippings in the skillet.
- Cook onion in reserved drippings over medium-low heat until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add
garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes more.

8-inch square baking dish.
