    Bacon and Goat Cheese Stuffed Onions

     

    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.

    Stuffed Onions with Goat Cheese and Bacon

     

    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!

      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! 🙂

        Thanks so much, Lily! Sure you could use red onions, just keep in mind that they are stronger than yellow.
