Cooking tip: Bacon crumbles easier after it has cooled. Don't skip the thickener, it helps to bind the ingredients together.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Dixie Diners' Thick It Up
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 4 slices Bacon
- 1/2 teaspoon Yellow Mustard Seed
- 1 14.5 ounces can Chicken Broth, Bouillon or Consomme
- 1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup (8 fluid ounces) Water
- 1 small Onion
- 12 ounces Cheddar Cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
Directions:
The creamy consistency of this sauce comes from Thick It Up™ by Dixie Diners' Club™. It contains 0 grams of Net Carbs per serving (it's all fiber) and can be ordered online. In a pinch you can substitute xanthan or guar gum or a combination of the two.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, 6-8 minutes. Remove, reserving drippings, and drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon.
- Dice onion and add to bacon fat in saucepan. Cook 3 minutes, until onion just begins to brown. Add mustard, pepper and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low.
- Whisk thickener into the water until it is dissolved and no clumps remain. Whisk into the saucepan; add cream, cheese and paprika; stir until cheese is melted.
- This sauce is a delicious topping for any vegetable or protein. You can also use it as a dip with vegetables such as celery, or zucchini spears. Each serving is about ¼ cup.
