BBQ meatball onion bombs

By Lsweetnell

You can adjust the meatball ingredients to however you like them. I would leave out the mushrooms...just saying..

Leave out the bread crumbs or use gluten free bread crumbs and use gluten free bbq sauce to make gluten free.

Ingredients

• 2 yellow onions
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1/4 cup onions, diced finely

Preparation

Step 1

To start making these tasty BBQ meatball onion bombs, preheat your oven to 425 °F.

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!
