Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook bacon in skillet until crisp. Drain on paper towels and cut into desired size and shape. Add chopped onions to pan and cook about 5-10 minutes, until tender and starting to caramelize. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and let the bacon grease drip off.

In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, both peppers. Toss until well mixed. Add the grated cheese. Toss until completed covered and mixed.

In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, a couple shakes of hot sauce and melted butter. Stir in the onions and bacon. Pour over the dry ingredients and fold in just until combined. Don't overmix!!

Pour into a prepared loaf pan and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for about 10-15 minutes in the pan and then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
