Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium flame.
  2. To prepare onions, remove stem and root ends of. Cut in half lengthwise through the root and stem, remove skin and break into separate but mating pieces.
  3. Form patties into 4 to 6 meatballs. Push a chunk of cheddar into the center of meat ball, then wrap with two matching pieces of onion. Wrap onion with 2 slices of bacon.
  4. Wrap onion bomb in foil, leaving the top open slightly. Pour some BBQ sauce over the top and place on grill, then cook for 35 minutes.
  5. Remove from grill and serve.
  6. Chef's Note: I prefer to cook these slower away from the direct heat to prevent flare ups.
