Onion Bomb Recipe - Step By Step

What do you need?

• • 2 large onions

• • 1.5-pound hamburger meat

• • Your favorite hamburger seasoning

• • Sliced bacon for wrapping

• • Tooth picks

I found that it can be a little tedious to make the shells. Especially with my big hands. But I found an easy solution for that.

• • Take 2 large onions and peel the papery ends off

• • Cut them in half and peel off the outer leaves

• • Move the outside rings out and set them to the side

• • Make the hamburger stuffing

• • Scoop the hamburger mixture into the onion rings

• • Place the two halves on top of each other.

• • Wrap them with bacon and secure with toothpicks

• • Smoke or grill at 225°F (107°C) till 165°F (74°C) internal and let rest for minutes.

• • Add your favorite BBQ sauce in the last 10 minutes (optional)

TIP: I had a problem with pushing the onion shells out and had to make a small slit in them. This was no problem since you wrap them in bacon.

How Long To Smoke Onion Bombs

This depends on the size of the onion bombs. An average for me, after smoking them several times, is that I take about an hour and a half for the size onion I am using. The best advice I can give you is to use a handheld thermometer.

Advice For Making Onion Bombs

• • Don't forget to cut off the ends of the onions. They will be more stable that way.

• • Use the bacon to seal the edge between the two onion halves.

• • Keep experimenting with flavors and different types of onions.

• • Add some chees to the mix to add even more flavor.
