BBQ Onion Meatball Bombs

These are the bomb!

BBQ Onion Meatball Bombs

Yields: 4-6 servings

Ingredients:

1 pound meatloaf mix (beef, pork, veal or use all beef if you prefer.)

1 egg

½ cup bread crumbs

½ cup shredded parmesan cheese

3 onions (choose med to large)

salt to taste

1 package bacon

½ c. Favorite BBQ sauce

Instructions:

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 approximately 40 minutes or until internal temp 165.

Add BBQ sauce all over and bake an additional 5 minutes.

Cooking Tips

#1 

Remember, y'all, it’s all about the prep. Take away the stress by doing the prep the night or day before. 

#2

For best results when you're baking, leave butter and eggs at room temperature overnight.

 

#3

When chopping herbs, toss a little salt onto the cutting board; it will keep the herbs from flying around.
