Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the onions and chop the bacon into small pieces. Rinse the liver under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the liver with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Onions

    In the same skillet, add the sliced onions to the bacon fat. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Coat the Liver

    While the onions are cooking, dredge the liver slices in flour, shaking off any excess.

  5. 5

    Cook the Liver

    Once the onions are done, push them to the side of the skillet. In the same skillet, add olive oil and butter. Add the liver slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and slightly pink in the center.

  6. 6

    Combine Everything

    Add the cooked bacon back to the skillet with the liver and onions. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the liver and onions hot, garnished with extra bacon if desired.
