There are times when you may look at food and it appears to be somewhat small but once you start eating it, you realize just how big of a taste it has. That is sure to be your experience when you try these delicious onion bombs. They look small to the eye but they are bursting with flavor and will fill you up quickly.
When you consider the combination of meatball on the inside and sweet onion on the outside, it is enough to send you into appetizer heaven. Oh yeah, we forgot to mention that it is wrapped in bacon! How could this be anything but the perfect food for your next get together or picnic. Try these once and you will be a hero. Be warned, however, once your family and friends try these, they will be back for more.

Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef
1 cup bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1/2 cup BBQ Sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3-4 medium/large yellow onions
1 package of Bacon
Additional BBQ Sauce for dipping
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbs, egg, milk, ½ cup BBQ, onion, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Mix together with your hands until thoroughly combined.
Cut top and bottom off onion, cut in half and peel off skin. Then separate the onion into “layers”. Use the larger outside layers.
Stuff your meatball mix between two Onion Layers (essentially making an onion seal around a large meatball).
Wrap each “bomb” with 3 slices bacon and secure with toothpicks.
Bake in a dish with sides (to catch grease) at 425 for approx 40 minutes or until internal temp 165.
