Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

6 slices bacon, finely chopped
6 small yellow onions, peeled
4 serrano chiles, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese
4 ounces Neufchatel cheese, softened
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
6 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium indirect heat and lightly oil the grate.
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut a thin slice from the top of each onion; discard tops. Use a small spoon to scoop out the centers of the onions, leaving 1/2-inch-thick shells. Finely chop and reserve removed onions.
Remove cooked bacon from the skillet using a slotted spoon, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in skillet. Drain bacon on a plate lined with a paper towel. Add 1 cup reserved chopped onions to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until onions are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add serrano chiles and garlic to the skillet and cook 2 minutes. Stir in cooked bacon.
Mix Cheddar cheese, Neufchatel cheese, and thyme together in a bowl. Stir in bacon mixture. Spoon evenly into onion shells. Place each filled onion on a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Drizzle 1 tablespoon balsamic dressing on top of each onion. Wrap foil tightly around onions, leaving room for heat circulation inside.
Grill on the preheated grill until onions are tender, about 25 minutes.

GRILLED BLUE CHEESE & BACON STUFFED ONIONS RECIPE - (4/5)

Grilled Blue Cheese & Bacon Stuffed Onions Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by christoph

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 large-sized sweet onions (Vidalia, Maui sweets, sweet yellows)
1 stick butter, room temperature
2/3 cup blue cheese, crumbled
4 strips bacon, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Hollow out onions using a melon baller. Mix all other ingredients and fill onions with mixture. Heat grill to medium heat. Place in foil pouch over direct heat on grill for 30 - 40 minutes.

Tips:

Choose the right onions: Medium to large yellow or white onions work best for this recipe. Make sure they are firm and have no soft spots.

Soak the onions: Soaking the onions in cold water for at least 30 minutes before grilling helps to remove some of the sharpness and bitterness.

Use a variety of fillings: The possibilities for fillings are endless, so get creative! You can use a combination of meats, vegetables, cheeses, and herbs.

Don't overcook the onions: Grilled onions should be tender but still have a bit of crunch. Cook them over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and the filling is heated through.

Serve immediately: Stuffed grilled onions are best served hot off the grill. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, crumbled cheese, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
