Bacon-Glazed Onions
"Wonderful side dish or appetizer at any barbecue. I got this one from "Southern Living" magazine. If using long wooden picks soak in water 30 minutes prior to threading with onion wedges."

OH, somebody pinch me!! I have got to be dreaming!! I made these with grilled sirloin for the fam. and grilled chicken breast for me, fresh green salad...Heaven!! Wouldn't change a thing! Thanks, yooper! -
Great taste, but HARD to put together. Between the slick onion and the slick bacon, it took me twice as long to put together as I'd originally thought. Next time, I'll use one full slice of bacon instead of a half slice. I'll also consider two additional things: first, make twice as much marinade so that it can really be slathered on, and second, I may use turkey bacon, which should be very tasty and cut down on the fat content. Still, this really was a very tasty side dish - very, very nice recipe! -
Stick toothpick from side to side. ->- this keeps onion together while it cooks. GREAT for everyone. all loved it Easy, make ahead and devour... -
I was disappointed in this recipe. I love bacon...I love onions, but the flavor of this recipe didn't seem outstanding to me. I don't know what I did wrong, but as the onions cooked, they slipped out of the bacon. I finally removed the skewers and put everything into a cast iron skillet on the grill. I added the marinade and stirred frequently. They didn't spoil the meal, but definately weren't what I was expecting. I have made recipe #32253 for Summertime Grilled Onions and find it much easier and it always has outstanding flavor.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite.
Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
