There are certain staples that seem to crop up any time someone hosts a cookout, like steak, ribs, and hamburgers. But every once in a while, you just have to switch things up a bit and the same old, same old just won’t do. That’s why we’re excited to introduce these incredibly delicious onion bombs! They’re stuffed with ground beef AND cheese, wrapped in bacon, and then brushed with BBQ sauce before they get thrown on the grill. Adjectives like juicy and tasty don’t even come to close to describing how amazing these onion bombs truly are!
BBQ Bacon Onion Bombs
Equipment
- Grill
Ingredients
- 2 large onions
- 1 lb ground beef

Instructions
- Cut off the ends of the onions and peel them. Cut the onions in half and set the outer 2 layers of each half aside for later. Dice the rest of the onions.
- Mix the ground beef with the finely diced onions, parsley, ketchup, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, bread crumbs, finely diced chili peppers, and diced mushrooms.
- Form 4 balls out of the ground beef mixture. Press one cheese cube into each ball and press the ground beef mass together to completely enclose the cheese.
