Happy Bacon Day!

Question

Today is Bacon Day which is probably why the name of the hat for participating today is "Mmmm Bacon". What better way to celebrate bacon day with fun filled 2d matrices made out of bacon! A 1 by 1 bacon strip is represented by this:

----- 
)===)
(===(
)===)
-----

You goal here is given two coordinates in a tuple, (x, y), where x and y are nonzero positive integers, you are to create the bacon and return in some format (list, array, string).

Input and Output:

Input: (2, 1)

Output:
----------  
)===))===)
(===((===(
)===))===)
----------

Input: (1, 2)

Output:

----- 
)===)
(===(
)===)
----- 
)===)
(===(
)===)
-----

Input: (2, 2)

---------- 
)===))===)
(===((===(
)===))===)
---------- 
)===))===)
(===((===(
)===))===)
----------

Rules:

• As you can see with the second test case, if multiple pieces of bacon are stacked together, only one ----- separates with each piece of bacon above and/or below it. That means stacking bacon like this is invalid:

  ----- 
  )===)
  (===(
  )===)
  -----
  ----- 
  )===)
  (===(
  )===)
  -----   
  

• Standard loopholes are forbidden

• The code must work for the above test cases and the following: (4, 4), (1, 6), (5, 1), (2, 3), (3, 2)

• Provide an interpreter where the above test cases can be tested

Shortest code wins! Happy Bacon Day to everyone!

Python 2.7, 74 bytes

I'm sure this could be golfed some more, but this is what I came up with (Python's string multiplication feature sure comes in handy):

a,b=input();f="-"*5*a;d=")===)"*a;print'\n'.join([f,d,"(===("*a,d,''])*b+f

Try it here!

Ungolfed with explanation:

a,b = input()                                       # Take input from the user as a tuple
f = "-"*5 * a                                       # f is the delimiter between bacons
d = ")===)" * a                                     # 2nd and 4th lines of bacon
print '\n'.join([f, d, "(===("*a, d, ''])*b + f     # Join everything together!

Mathematica, 74 bytes

Array[b["-----",b=")===)","(===("][[#~Mod~4]]&,{4#2+1,#}]~Riffle~"\n"<>""&

Unnamed function taking two positive integer arguments and returning a string-with-newlines. A standard Mathematica approach: build a 2d array of strings using a (mod 4) chooser to cycle the strings in the vertical direction, then collapse them to a single string.

@set s=

@set t=%s:_==%
@echo %s:_=-%
@for /l %%i in (1,1,%2)do @echo %t:-=)%&echo %t:-=(%&echo %t:-=)%&echo %s:_=-%

Rather unfortunately I can't write @echo %s:==-% otherwise that would eliminate the necessity for the second variable.

Python 2, 59 bytes

w,h=input()
for a in'-()('*h+'-':print(a+3*'=-'[a>')']+a)*w

Generates each line as a+b*3+a from the initial character a and the center character b (which is calculated from a). The a's cycle through '-()(', whereas b is '-' when a is '-', and '=' otherwise.

67 bytes:

w,h=input()
for a,b in['--']+zip(')()-','===-')*h:print(a+b*3+a)*w

Generates each line from its outer character a and center character b as a+b*3+a, then prints w copies of this. These cycle via a zip.

Dyalog APL, 55 bytes

This is my first time using Dyalog APL, so I'm sure this isn't the best approach.

 {(⊂'-----'),[1]⍉⍺(4×⍵)⍴')===)' '(===(' ')===)' '-----'}

Explanation: This is a quite simple approach, for a bacon grid of N×M, I make an N×(4M) matrix of the following four strings, repeating:

')===)'
'(===('
')===)'
'-----'

Then I concatenate the string ----- to the beginning.

Here's a quick explanation of the code:

')===)' '(===(' ')===)' '-----'  ⍝ An array of the four strings        

⍺ (4×⍵) ⍴                        ⍝ reshape (⍴) the array to a matrix with the dimensions
                                 ⍝ ⍺ by (4×⍵) (⍺ is the 1st argument and ⍵ is the second) 

⍉                               ⍝ transpose the matrix 

,[1]                             ⍝ concatenate to beginning of the matrix...

(⊂'-----')                       ⍝ ...the string '-----' embedded in its own matrix (⊂)
