Stuffed Sweet Onions with Bacon image

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

I had some trouble getting the onions to stay together while they were cooking. I think I might have needed to cook them for a little longer.

These onions were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. The onions are so flavorful and the bacon adds a nice touch of smokiness.
