Firecracker Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Stuffed Onion Bombs are a delicious and unique dish that combines the flavors of a cheeseburger with the sweetness of onions, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet onions
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 ounces cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Cut the tops off the onions and carefully scoop out the insides, creating a hollow space. Leave about 1/2 inch of onion around the edges. Reserve the scooped-out onion for later use.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Add the reserved onion pieces to the meat mixture and stir in the breadcrumbs and parsley (if using).
- Stuff each hollowed onion with the beef mixture, packing it in tightly.
- Place the stuffed onions upright in a baking dish. Drizzle barbecue sauce over the top of each onion.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the onions are tender.
- Let the onion bombs cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the meat mixture.
- You can also substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
