Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Egg noodles
- 6 slices Smoked bacon
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 0.25 cup White vinegar
- 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Parsley
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
Instructions
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
While the noodles cook, chop the bacon into small pieces and dice the onion.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the cooked bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook in the bacon fat until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the skillet to low heat. Add the white vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and chicken or vegetable broth to the onions. Stir well to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Add the cooked noodles and crispy bacon back into the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the noodles evenly with the warm dressing.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the dish and give it one final toss.
Serve the hot noodle salad immediately for the best flavor, either as a side dish or a main course.
