Steps:
- Top and tail each onion and then remove the skin.
- Core each onion. I prefer the method of using a sharp knife as a 'drill', poke into the centre and twist. Repeat from the other cut side, then push with your thumb, the center should pop out.
- Then use your fingers to work around the remaining onion until you leave a shell just 2-3 onions layers deep.
- Coarsely chop a third of the removed onion and discard the rest. (Don't throw it away though, freeze it for stocks, stews or soups).
- Mix the chopped onion with the minced beef.
- Dice the chilli pepper as finely as you can and add it to the beef.
- Throw in the Worcestershire sauce, thyme, fennel seeds, salt and pepper, then mix well.
- Stuff the onions with the minced beef mixture.
- Wrap each onion with 2 strips of streaky bacon.
- Take half of the BBQ sauce and brush it over the bacon wrapped onions.
- Add the onions to a hot grill and cook for an hour in an indirect heat 'zone' at around 160°C-170°C or 320°F-340°F.
- Brush with the remaining BBQ sauce and move to the direct heat section of the BBQ for a final 5 minutes.
- Place the onions on a baking tray and place in a preheated oven at 170°C or 340°F and cook for an hour.
- Remove the onions from the oven and then turn it up as hot as it will go, flip it to fan mode if you have that option.
- Brush the onions with the remaining BBQ sauce and cook for a final 7-10 minutes or until nicely coloured.

Steps:
- Peel and wash the onions. With the point of a small, sharp knife, cut a 1-inch core from the top of each onion and make shallow slits in a circle around the top. Wrap 2 slices of bacon horizontally around each onion, and secure them with toothpicks. Then put 1 teaspoon of butter in each core. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place each onion on a square of aluminum foil and bring the edges together at the top, leaving a small opening for steam to escape. Put the foil-wrapped onions on the grill and cook for 1 hour, or until the onions are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. You can also bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Cool the onions for a few minutes then unwrap and cut into quarters to serve.

STUFFED SWEET ONIONS WITH BACON
This unexpected side dish is perfect to serve alongside grilled steak or pork chops. Even if you're not an onion fan, the low heat and long cooking time of this dish mellows and sweetens the sometimes sharp raw onion flavors that many dislike.-Erin Chilcoat, Smithtown, New York

Steps:
- Prepare your grill for direct medium high heat.
- Mix together the ketchup and mustard in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the sauerkraut with the chopped onion, set aside. Slice open the hot dogs, down the center, lengthwise, forming a deep pocket in each, but not cutting all the way through. Coat the inside of each hot dog with the mustard ketchup mixture.
- Place a strip of cheese deep within the pocket of each hot dog. Top with sauerkraut and onions. Encapsulate the cheese at the ends with the sauerkraut mixture as well, so that no cheese is exposed (otherwise it will drip out when cooking).
- Wrap a strip of bacon around each stuffed hot dog, securing with toothpicks at each end. Make sure you wrap tight enough so that the stuffing stays in, but not so tight so that when the hot dog expands will cooking the bacon would tear.
- Coat your grill surface with vegetable oil so that the hot dogs don't stick. If you have a grill screen (a screen with smaller holes so that small pieces of whatever you're cooking don't fall through the grill), you can use it, just coat it with vegetable oil first and pre-heat for a couple of minutes. Place the stuffed hot dogs on the grill, stuffing side down. Grill for 2 minutes, until the bacon on that side is cooked, turn the hot dogs a quarter turn and grill for a couple more minutes. Continue to grill for a few minutes each on all sides until the bacon is cooked. Cover the grill in between turnings to help with the cooking.
- During the last minute of cooking, open up the hot dog buns and place them open-side down on the grill to lightly toast.
- Remove the hot dogs and buns from the grill. Remove the toothpicks from the hot dogs, place them in the buns and serve.

Steps:
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the onion into ½-inch (1.24 cm) thick rounds. Separate the rings and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roughly chop 4 slices of bacon and add to a medium bowl, along with the macaroni and cheese. Stir to combine.
- Fill each onion ring with a generous spoonful of the bacon macaroni and cheese. Transfer to the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until fully hardened.
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Set a wire rack inside another rimmed baking sheet.
- Finely chop the remaining 2 slices of bacon and add to a medium bowl with the bread crumbs, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Add the flour and eggs to 2 separate bowls.
- Coat a frozen onion ring in the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg, then the bread crumbs, then back into the egg and bread crumbs once more. Set on the wire rack and repeat with the remaining onion rings.
- Working in batches of 2-3 at a time, fry the onion rings in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes, until deep golden brown in color and the macaroni and cheese is warmed through.
- Serve the onion rings warm with marinara sauce and ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right onions: Select medium-sized onions with a tight, compact structure. Avoid using large onions as they may not cook evenly.
- Prepare the onions properly: Cut the onions in half, from top to bottom, leaving the root intact. This will help hold the onion together during grilling.
- Stuff the onions generously: Use a variety of fillings to stuff the onions. Popular options include bread crumbs, cooked ground beef, sausage, rice, vegetables, and cheese.
- Wrap the onions tightly with bacon: Use thin-sliced bacon to wrap the stuffed onions. Overlap the bacon slices slightly to ensure the onions are completely covered.
- Cook the onions over medium heat: Grill the onions over medium heat to prevent them from burning. Cook the onions for about 20-25 minutes per side, or until the bacon is crispy and the onions are tender.
- Let the onions rest before serving: Once the onions are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the onions.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped grilled stuffed onions are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. With a variety of stuffing options to choose from, these stuffed onions are sure to please everyone at your table. Follow these tips to ensure your bacon-wrapped grilled stuffed onions turn out perfectly every time. Enjoy!
