Steps:

Preheat oven to 425F. Cut off the tops and bottoms of the onions and remove the exterior skin. Cut the onion in half and peel the layers apart, keeping the biggest layers to stuff with meat. Setting the onion layers aside, mix the ground beef, diced onion, parsley, mushroom, brown sugar, condiments, and bread crumbs in a large mixing bowl by hand. Place a handful of the meatloaf mixture inside two of the onion layer pieces. Wrap the onion meatballs in bacon, using three slices per ball. Secure the bacon with toothpicks to keep it from unraveling during cooking. Bake in a dish at 425 °F for 40 minutes. Cover the balls in BBQ sauce and bake for an additional 5 minutes. The result will be the perfect addition to your summer party - a bacon meatball onion bomb that is both sweet and savory!

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound meatloaf mix (beef, pork, veal or use all beef if you prefer.)
1 egg
½ cup bread crumbs (I use Aleia's gluten free)
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
3 yellow onions (choose med to large)
salt to taste
1 package bacon
½ c. Favorite BBQ sauce
Scallions or chives for garnish

Steps:

Mix meat, egg, crumbs, cheese and salt.
Cut top and bottom off onion, cut in half and peel off skin. Then separate the onion into layers. Use the larger outside layers.
Take a small handful of your meatloaf mix and put it inside one onion layer.
Gently press another layer on top of the mixture. You are making an onion seal around your large meatball.
Continue with the rest. I made 4 but amounts can vary based on onion sizes.
Wrap each "bomb" with 3 slices bacon and secure with toothpicks.
Bake in a dish with sides (to catch grease) at 425 for approx 40 minutes or until internal temp 165.
Add BBQ sauce all over and bake an additional 5 minutes!
Top with chives or scallions.
