**Recipe Variations:**

- **Vegetarian Delight:** Transform this meaty masterpiece into a vegetarian delight by substituting the ground beef with a flavorful combination of sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, and bell peppers.

- **Spicy Kick:** Add a touch of heat to your stuffed onions by incorporating diced jalapeños or chili peppers into the filling.

- **Cheesy Goodness:** Indulge in a cheesy extravaganza by adding a generous helping of shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese to the filling before baking.

- **Herbed Elegance:** Elevate the flavors of your stuffed onions with a blend of fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme, and rosemary.

- **Tangy Twist:** Introduce a tangy twist to the filling by adding a dollop of Dijon mustard or a splash of Worcestershire sauce.

**Additional Tips:**

- Select large, firm onions for this recipe to ensure they can hold the filling without collapsing.

- Use a sharp knife to carefully hollow out the onions, leaving a sturdy shell for the stuffing.

- Cook the rice until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. This will prevent it from becoming mushy in the baking process.

- Pack the stuffing tightly into the onion shells to ensure they hold their shape during baking.

- Bake the stuffed onions until the onions are tender and the filling is cooked through. This usually takes around 30 to 40 minutes.

- Serve the stuffed onions hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika for added visual appeal.

Yield Makes 10 stuffed onions

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 medium red and yellow onions (4 lb)
1 lb sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 1-inch-wide pieces
3 celery ribs, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
15 oz baby spinach, trimmed and coarsely chopped (14 cups)
1 (9-inch) round loaf country-style bread (1 1/4 lb), cut into 1/2-inch cubes (10 cups), lightly toasted
2 cups salted roasted cashews (10 oz), coarsely chopped
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/4 cups turkey giblet stock

Steps:

  • Make onion shells:
  • Cut a 1/2-inch-thick slice from tops of onions, discarding tops, and trim just enough from bottoms for onions to stand upright. Scoop out all but outer 2 or 3 layers from each using a small ice cream scoop or spoon (don't worry if you make a hole in the bottom), reserving scooped-out onion and onion shells separately.
  • Make stuffing:
  • Coarsely chop enough scooped-out onion to measure 3 cups.
  • Cook bacon in 2 batches in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until crisp, about 10 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving about 1/3 cup fat in skillet.
  • Add chopped onion, celery, salt, and pepper to skillet and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté, stirring, 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and stir in spinach, bread, cashews, butter, 1 cup stock, and bacon, then cool completely.
  • Roast onions:
  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Arrange onion shells, open sides up, in a 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking pan, then add 1/2cup water and cover pan tightly with foil. Roast onions in middle of oven until tender but not falling apart, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Stuff and bake onions:
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Transfer shells to a work surface and pour off water in pan. Fill shells with stuffing, mounding it, and return to pan. Reserve 5 to 7 cups stuffing for turkey cavity, then put remaining stuffing in a buttered shallow 3 1/2-quart baking dish and drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup stock. Bake stuffed onions and stuffing in dish in middle of oven, uncovered, until heated through, about 25 minutes.
