Ingredients
- 1 large onion
- 1 lb. ground beef, turkey, or pork
- 1/2 clove of garlic, finely chopped (or use minced garlic, about a teaspoon)
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup crushed saltine crackers
- 1 slice of bread torn into small pieces
- 3/4 cup shredded cheese (any kind)
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- optional – meatloaf seasoning packet
Directions
- Cut the onion in half, from top to bottom right down the center…not sideways.
- Take each layer of the onion, and pair them together making sure to match each side with it’s mate. Be careful when pulling layers apart because they can tear easily.
- Add ground meat to a mixing bowl, then add all the other ingredients.
- Mix it all with your hands, just like you would with meatloaf. You want about the same texture as meatloaf as well. If it’s too dry, add a bit more ketchup or a splash of milk. If it feels too wet, add a little more crushed crackers.
- Start with the largest pair of onion halves.
- Make a large meatball and place it in one side of the onion half and place the other onion half over the top, basically squishing the meatball between the 2 onion halves.
- Continue to fill the rest of the onion halves up with the meat mixture.
- Wrap each onion bomb in aluminum foil, leaving enough room so that you can leave a little twist at the top so you can easily pick them up off the grill.
- Slap these babies on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Flip them over on their opposite side and cook an additional 8-10 minutes.
