Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Select medium-sized onions that are firm and have no blemishes. Yellow or white onions work best for this recipe.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: To save time, cook the rice according to package instructions before starting the recipe. This will allow the rice to cool slightly before stuffing the onions.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the stuffing, such as chopped carrots, celery, or mushrooms. This will add more flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Don't overstuff the onions: Be careful not to overstuff the onions, as this can cause them to burst during cooking. Leave a little bit of space at the top of each onion for expansion.
  • Bake the onions until tender: Bake the onions in a preheated oven until they are tender and the filling is cooked through. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.
  • Let the onions cool slightly before serving: Once the onions are baked, let them cool slightly before serving. This will make them easier to handle and prevent the filling from falling out.

Meaty stuffed onions are a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
