Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large onions, vidalia, peeled,
1 lb thin cut hickory smoked bacon
4-6 Tbsp light brown sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Mix brown sugar/vinegar/molasses or Maple syrup and set aside. Cut Vidalia's into 1/2" to 1" wedges. Throw away (or chop up for other uses) the few center pieces. You need a flat surface to stick picks through
  • 2. wrap each wedge center to center (around) with a 1/2 piece of bacon, top to bottom corner. Stick pick through bacon and onion. All the way through onion. This holds together while grilling. keeps from falling apart
  • 3. Lay out a single layer of wedges/wrapped and put a spoonful of sauce mixture on each onion. This is thick and will soak in good. After each piece has sauce on it. Cover and place in fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight. Flip container over 1/2 way through if possible so liquid soaks in onions good.
  • 4. Preheat grill to 300-350* It is a lot less messy to grill if you use an aluminum pan with holes in it on the grill. (dollar store) or a nonstick grill pad. cook until bacon is done and serve soon as possible. You will LOVE easier than i make it sound. ;o)

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Look for large, firm onions with no bruises or soft spots. Yellow onions are a good all-purpose choice, but you can also use red or white onions if you prefer.
  • Parboil the onions: This step helps to soften the onions and make them easier to stuff. You can parboil the onions whole or cut them in half first. If you are cutting the onions in half, be sure to cut them through the root end so that they stay intact.
  • Don't overstuff the onions: You want the onions to be filled, but not so much that they burst open when they are cooked. Leave a little bit of space at the top of each onion.
  • Use a variety of fillings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to fillings for stuffed onions. You can use ground beef, sausage, rice, vegetables, cheese, or any combination of ingredients. Get creative and have fun!
  • Wrap the onions in bacon: This step is optional, but it adds a delicious smoky flavor to the onions. If you are wrapping the onions in bacon, be sure to use a thick-cut bacon so that it doesn't burn.
  • Grill the onions: Grill the onions over medium heat until the onions are tender and the bacon is cooked through. This will take about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped grilled stuffed onions are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or any other special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home.
