Backyard cookouts find a new star in these bacon-wrapped stunners, where hollowed sweet onions cradle seasoned ground beef and a gooey pocket of cheddar. Low-and-slow smoking crisps the bacon while the onion turns meltingly sweet inside. Perfect for anyone who loves a showstopping bite that tastes as impressive as it looks off the smoker or grill.

Ingredients

2 Large Sweet Onion
1 Lb Ground Beef
1 Cup Cheddar Cheese - Shredded
8-10 Slice Bacon
2 Tbsp Steak Seasoning
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tsp Onion Powder
1/2 Tsp Black Pepper

Directions

Prepare the onions: Peel the onions and cut them in half from top to bottom. Remove the centers, leaving the outer 2–3 layers intact to create “bowls.”
Make the filling: Mix the ground meat with the garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and half the BBQ seasoning
Stuff the onions: Fill each onion half with meat, adding a generous amount of shredded cheese in the center before sealing with more meat
Wrap: Put the onion halves back together and wrap completely with bacon, overlapping the slices. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning over the bacon.
Cook:* Smoker: 250°F (120°C) for 2½–3 hours.* Oven: 375°F (190°C) for 60–75 minutes.* Grill (indirect heat): 350°F (175°C) for 1–1¼ hours.
Brush with BBQ sauce during the last 10 minutes if desired.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
