Back when I first joined Pinterest, I created a board I called “Recipes To Try”. Some of them I want to try exactly as they are, and some look like they would be great if I made a few changes. The problem is that in the two years or more since I created the board, I have only tried a handful of the recipes I pinned there. Yep, the list has gotten quite extensive! Some of the recipes are from my favorite food blogger friends, others from sites I don’t know as well, but they sure have some delicious looking recipes. The very first one I ever pinned to the board also ended up being the one that stayed there the longest, Grilled Blue Cheese & Bacon Stuffed Onions from James and Everett. Not for any real reason, I just never got around to trying them until last week.
I originally was going to use blue cheese, I LOVE it, but I had some crumbled goat cheese as well, and thought it would pair nicely with smoked bacon and sweet onions. I know what your thinking, onion breath! Don’t worry about it, you’ll get passed that right after you taste these. They mellow nicely when roasted, making them a great side dish for an entree like roast beef ( I served them with it when I made them), or a different starter course for a special dinner.
Make these as a side dish for Christmas, and wow your family with how simple yet delicious they are!
- 4 sweet yellow onions
- 6 slices cherrywood smoked bacon ,cooked and coarse crumbled
- 3 1/2 ounces crumbled goat cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Cut the tops and bottoms off the onions, peel without cutting through the onions. Use a melon baller or teaspoon to scoop out the middle of each onion about 2 inches.
- Soften butter in the microwave for 15 seconds. In a small bowl, combine butter, goat cheese, and crumbled bacon, stir until well combined. Use a teaspoon to equally stuff each onion. Place in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the onions are soft. Uncover, set the oven to broil, and broil on the middle shelf for 3-5 minutes or until lightly browned on the tops.

My family & I love onions so this was a great recipe for us! I used them as a side dish to the t-bones I was grilling & they were amazing! I wrapped each onion in its own foil pkg on the top rack of my grill & they were ready in no time! Thanks for sharing!!!

Excellent recipes, Bernadette! I’ve been thinking about cooking more for my family, so I’m glad that I stumbled upon your article. I’ll be sure to add your Bacon and Goat Cheese Stuffed Onions to my list; they look absolutely delicious! Can you use red onions instead of yellow ones? Thanks for sharing these with us! 🙂
Bernadette says
Thanks so much, Lily! Sure you could use red onions, just keep in mind that they are stronger than yellow.
