<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIngredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n- 2\u00a0tbsp\u00a0extra virgin olive oil<\/li>
- 1\/2- 1 cup onions\u00a0medium, thinly sliced ( I like the lesser amount)<\/li>

Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n- Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9×13 or deep 9×9 baking dish with butter and set aside.<\/li>
- Bake the bacon (I used precooked bacon and just microwaved a few slices because it’s all I had on hand. Otherwise we always bake bacon in the oven.<\/li>
- Add olive oil to a medium skillet and heat over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onion and salt and pepper, to taste. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until onions become caramel in color. Remove from skillet and set aside.<\/li>
- Melt butter over medium heat. Sprinkle flour on top of butter and whisk to form a roux. Cook for 2 minutes.<\/li>
- Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly. Bring roux to a simmer and let thicken just slightly, about 2 to 3 minutes after coming to a simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Assembly<\/h4>\n\n\n\n- Layer half of the potatoes, half of the caramelized onions, half the bacon, half the cheese, and half the sauce, in that order in the prepared baking dish. Repeat.<\/li>
