Ingredients

1 1/2 - 2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoky paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
1 lb sliced bacon, slices halved for easier handling
1 large onion, cut into chunks
oil (for frying)

Directions

1

Combine first 7 ingredients (through cayenne powder) and mix well.
2

Fry bacon halfway to your liking.
3

Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in large skillet to 350°F.
4

Dust bacon and onion chunks with seasoned flour, shake off excess (I use a mesh colander) and place in heated oil, being careful not to crowd, which lowers the heat and allows too much oil to soak into what you're frying.
5

Fry to your desired doneness - (This is so subjective, I'm going to leave it up to you) - golden brown works for me.

Not just for breakfast, consider also using as a garnish for a steak or on a bed of warm, braised brussels sprouts tossed in garlic and mustard.
