This sweet-and-salty spread is a party favorite! The onions caramelize in the microwave with bacon, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar to make a craveable, jammy spread. Pair with Easy "Baked" Brie for a festive appetizer spread in minutes.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.
