Ingredients:

5-6 onions, thinly sliced

1 tb butter

1 pound bacon

1/2 cup cider vinegar

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/2 cup coffee

Directions:

1. Cook the bacon and set aside.

2. Melt the butter then start to caramelize the onions. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for a short time.

3. Put the onion mixture and the bacon in the slow cooker. Cook for 3-4 hours on low. Pulse if you wish or leave as is and refrigerate.
