Ingredients

4 large Vidalia onions
4 beef bouillon cubes
4 tablespoons butter
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill or preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Trim and slice from the top of each onion, and peel the onion without cutting off the root end. Using a potato peeler, cut a small cone shaped section from the center of the onion. Cut the onion into quarters from the top down, stopping within a 1/2-inch of the root end. Place a bouillon cube in the center of each onion, slip slivers of butter between the sections, and sprinkle with pepper. Wrap each onion in heavy duty foil and place the onions directly onto the hot coals. Cook the onions for 45 minutes turning every so often.

To serve, place each onion in individual bowl because the onions will produce a lot of broth, which tastes like French onion soup.

LOVE IT!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Recommended to make. Wonderfull side dish (who would have thought - "Onions as a side dish?" The only thing I say is - do... cut off both ends of the onion - it's hard to eat with the root end still on it.Read more

I served these Vidalia Onions with New York Strip Steak tonight. I followed the recipe for the onions, but additionally... seasoned with Paula's House Seasoning. Served it with hot toasted parmesan bread. Just Wonderful!Read more

Mock Onion Soup
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This blew everyone's socks off. Can not get over the flavor I do recommend using vidalias for the best flavor but you can use... sweet spanish onions. I found wrapping each onion in double foil is most helpful in case of a tear in the foil. Serve with BBQ chicken or a good steak. I even make these in the oven thank you Paula these are fantastic.Read more

Savory
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were incredible! We live at a high altitude so they had to be in the oven quite a bit longer and we added a little bit... of water and had them in bowls like french onion soup! It is melt in your mouth savory and delicious!Read more
