BBQ Onion Bombs

Ingredients

500g ground beef

2 Large onions

250g bacon

1/4 cup each - chopped parsley, chopped mushrooms and diced onion

1 tbsp tomato sauce

1 tsp each soy and worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp each brown sugar and meat seasoning mix

1/4 cip bread crumbs

BBQ sauce - optional

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C

Start off by cutting the tops and bottoms off of your onions and ridding them of the tough exterior skin.

Slice your onion in half length-ways and start to peel the layers of onion apart.

You want to keep the biggest layers of onion you can to stuff, however, make sure you're not keeping the tough exterior onion layers, that won't taste (or cut) very well.

Set your onion shells aside and mix the meatloaf -

Mix ground beef, diced onion, parsley, mushroom, as well as your spices, condiments and bread crumbs into a bowl and mix by hand.

Take a small handful of your meatloaf mixture and place it inside one of your onion layer pieces, then press another layer piece on top of the mixture, making an onion sealed meatball.

Continue with the rest of your onion layers until your meatloaf mixture is gone.

The number of onion bombs will depend on the size of the onions you buy.

Now, let's wrap this thing in bacon.

Wrap 3 slices of bacon around each bomb, you may need more bacon depending on size.

Secure the bacon with tooth picks so it doesn't unravel while it's cooking.

Bake for 20-30 minutes until cooked through

The last 10 minutes or so of cooking, put your favourite BBQ sauce all over the onion bomb and let it caramelize.

You may want to turn on the grill to get a more roasted colour on the bombs.
