Elswet's Sausage-Stuffed Onions image

This is fantastic, even if you don't love onions! It makes an awesome entree or side dish, depending on your tastes. It's Elswet's own recipe. The trick is to choose Vidalia onions. They're sweeter than common onion bulbs, and will cook sweeter for those who are not lovers of onions. Otherwise, you could try purple onions. Those look much prettier in their finished form.
