Saturday Night Vidalia Onions

Submitted by Tearanii

"If you like onions you will love this recipe! My family raves over them everytime I make them."

 

• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 large vidalia onions
• 4 beef bouillon cubes
• 4 tablespoons butter
• fresh ground black pepper

directions

1. Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill or preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Trim and slice from the top of each onion, and peel the onion without cutting off the root end.
3. Using a potato peeler, cut a small cone shaped section from the center of the onion.
4. Cut the onion into quarters from the top down, stopping within a 1/2-inch of the root end.
5. Place a bouillon cube in the center of each onion, slip slivers of butter between the sections, and sprinkle with pepper.
6. Wrap each onion in heavy duty foil and place the onions directly onto the hot coals.
7. Cook the onions for 45 minutes turning every so often.
8. To serve, place each onion in individual bowl because the onions will produce a lot of broth, which tastes like French onion soup.

We LOVE these! I've made them every year to celebrate Vidalia season. I usually bake them in the oven (1 hour at 350 in Pyrex bowls and covered with foil). I season with creole seasoning (Zatarain's Big & Zesty). I've never had much luck with the foil packages; they always seem to leak and I don't want to lose a drop of that yumminess. If you haven't tried these because you don't have a grill, just use your oven. You'll love it!

Great starting point recipe! I used smallish sweet onions... I spread the onion open ( like a flower/blooming onion) sprinkled the hole of the onion and inside of the onion sections with a little less than a teaspoon full of beef bouillon granules, a pinch of brown sugar, pepper and small butter chunks. Double wrap in foil and bake in a pan at 375 for almost an hour. Then when I open the foil packets I add some shredded Jarlsberg/mozzarella cheese and a few croutons. It tastes JUST like french onion soup, it is excellent and everyone so far has loved them.

I used larger onions, and I wished I used smaller ones. The taste was really good though. Next time I'll try it with small onions.

I made these the other night for my husband and his two friends along with Recipe #73922. These were sooooo good. The first thing hubby said when he took a bite was "Wow!! These are awesome!!" and later his friend told me dinner was scrumtrelescent! I will definitely be making these again. I couldn't find smaller onions, so I had to use larger onions, but I will use smaller ones next time. I'm pretty sure I used more than 4 tablespoons of butter (unhealthy, I know), but the onions I had were larger. Thanks for the "scrumtrelescent" recipe!:)
