Report
Naturally mild and sweet, the Vidalias in these packets bake up tender and flavorful.

Ingredients
- 4 large sweet Vidalia onions
- 8 strips bacon
- 4 tsp. butter
- 4 medium garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp. beef bouillon
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Peel the onions. Then clean up the root ends, leaving them intact. Slice off a thin piece of the top ends and then, with a paring knife, core out a bit from each of the tops. Wrap two slices of bacon around each onion's middle, securing the bacon with 2 to 3 toothpicks. Then add a teaspoon of butter, one freshly minced garlic clove, and 1/4 teaspoon of the beef bouillon in each core. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place each onion on a square of heavy duty aluminum foil and bring the edges together at the top, taking care to not let the toothpicks poke through the foil. Leave a small opening at the top of the foil packet for steam to escape. Place packets on a pan with sides and bake for at least one hour, until onion is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, and the juices accumulated in the packets are bubbling a bit. The onions should be very fragrant and the garlic should be softened.
- If you are using huge Vidalias, it may require baking for up to 30 to 45 minutes longer to achieve absolute tenderness.
Notes
