🍽️ Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Onion Bombs
Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet onions
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground pork/turkey)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for glazing)
- 8-10 slices of bacon
- Toothpicks or kitchen twine
👨🍳 Instructions:
- Prep the Onions:
Peel the onions and slice them in half top-to-bottom. Carefully separate the layers to create “onion shells” for stuffing. - Make the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add BBQ sauce and mix well. - Stuff the Onion Bombs:
Take two similar-sized onion halves and stuff them with the meat mixture. Press them together to form a “bomb.” - Wrap with Bacon:
Wrap each bomb with 2–3 slices of bacon. Use toothpicks to secure everything in place. - Cook Time!
- Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Bake on a wire rack over a baking sheet for 40–45 minutes or until bacon is crispy and internal temp hits 160°F.
- Grill: Use indirect heat and cook for 40–50 minutes, brushing with BBQ sauce in the final 10 minutes.
- Final Glaze:
Brush on extra BBQ sauce and broil for 2–3 minutes if desired for a caramelized finish. 🍯🔥
😍 Tips for Maximum Flavor:
- Use smoked bacon for an extra punch.
- Swap in mozzarella or pepper jack for a cheese twist.
- Add jalapeños inside for a spicy kick! 🌶️
