Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into a culinary creation where savory meets sweet and smoky in perfect harmony. These stuffed onion bombs are a delightful explosion of flavors and textures, starting with a juicy, sweet onion as the foundation. Each onion is carefully hollowed out and transformed into a vessel brimming with seasoned ground beef.

The beef, infused with a medley of herbs and spices, offers a robust and satisfying heart to this unique dish. As you cut into the onion, the tender layers give way to the rich, meaty center, releasing an enticing aroma that fills the air. The natural sweetness of the onion caramelizes during cooking, creating a delightful counterpoint to the savory beef.

The flavors meld together, creating a symphony on your palate that is both comforting and exciting. But the experience doesn't stop there. Each onion bomb is lovingly swathed in strips of bacon, adding a layer of smoky goodness and crispy texture to every bite.

As the bacon cooks, its rendered fat bastes the onion and beef, further enhancing their flavors and creating a delectable glaze. The bacon's saltiness complements the sweetness of the onion and the savory beef, creating a trifecta of flavors that will leave you craving more. These stuffed onion bombs are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways.

Serve them as a hearty appetizer at your next gathering, or make them the centerpiece of a satisfying meal. Their unique presentation is sure to impress your guests, and their unforgettable flavor will have them begging for the recipe. For an unforgettable outdoor cooking experience, these onion bombs are fantastic cooked on the grill, perfect for barbecues.

The smoky char from the grill adds another layer of flavor, making them an instant summer favorite. Whether you bake them in the oven or grill them to perfection, these stuffed onion bombs are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that will elevate any meal.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, combine the ground beef with the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, cayenne, and mustard powder. Set this aside.
    2.
    To prepare the onion shells, grab 3-6 large, round onions. Remove the tops and bottoms of all the onions, and peel away the brown skins.
    3.
    Cut each onion in half lengthwise. Use your fingers to gently remove one to two layers from each onion. You should end up with 12 onion halves total, which will make 6 onion bombs.
    4.
    Fill each onion half with the ground beef mixture. Don’t let the filling dome over, but don’t pack it in too tightly either.
    5.
    Separate your bacon slices so they are easily accessible. To assemble the onion bombs, press together two filled halves to make a whole. Wrap two pieces of bacon over the top of the onion, so they close under the entire thing. Wrap a third piece around the center. Use two skewers per onion bomb to secure everything in place.
    6.
    Place the onion bombs evenly across a metal oven rack, and place that over a sheet tray for catching any drippings. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the center of each onion bomb has an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Serve hot!
