Grilled Onion Bomb

Sweet Pennies from Heaven
Ingredients
- 1 large onion
- 1/2 clove of garlic finely chopped (or use minced garlic, about a teaspoon)
- 3/4 cup of Ketchup
- 1/2 cup of crushed saltine crackers
- 1 slice of bread torn into small pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3/4 cup of shredded cheese (any kind of cheese you like)
- 1/3 cup of parmesan cheese
- optional – Homewrecker BBQ Rub (YUM!)
Instructions
Cut a fairly decent sized onion in half. You want to cut from top to
bottom right down the middle, not sideways. Then take each layer from
each one and pair them together making sure to match each side with it’s
mate. Be careful when pulling the layers apart because they can tear
easily.
Mix all of this up with your hands as you would with meatloaf. You
want about the same texture as you would with meatloaf as well. If it
seems too dry, add a bit more ketchup or a splash of milk. If it feels
too wet, add a little more crushed crackers.
Now it’s time to assemble your onion bombs. Start with the largest
pair of onion halves. Make a large meatball and place it in one side of
the onion half and place the other onion half over the top. Basically
squishing the meatball between the 2 onion halves. Continue to fill the
rest of the onion halves up with the meat mixture.
Wrap each onion bomb in aluminum foil. You want to have enough room
so that you can leave a little twist at the top so you can easily pick
them up off the grill because they’re hot! Now it’s time to grill them.
Slap these babies on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Flip
them over on their opposite side and cook an additional 8-10 minutes.
NOTE: Grilling times will vary based on how high you have your grill
set. You could bake them in the oven if you don’t have a grill…that’s
just an idea.
