Grilled Blue Cheese Bacon Stuffed Onions Recipe 4

Steps:

• Hollow out onions using a melon baller. Mix all other ingredients and fill onions with mixture. Heat grill to medium heat. Place in foil pouch over direct heat on grill for 30 - 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cut off enough from the bottom of the onion for it to sit flat. Scoop out 1/3 of the flesh starting from the top of the onion. Fill the core with blue cheese.
• Wrap the onion in aluminum foil and grill, blue cheese-side-up, until tender, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the jack cheese and chopped bacon in a bowl. Put the beef in another bowl and season with salt and pepper; use a rubber spatula to mix it in. Flatten 1/4 of the meat mixture in the palm of your hand. Squeeze together about a tablespoon of the cheese and bacon mixture to make a little nugget; put it in the center of the ground beef. Bring up the sides of the patty over the filling, making sure the cheese is completely covered by the meat. Flatten slightly for a nice patty shape. Set them side by side on a platter in the refrigerator while preparing the grill.
• Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue and get it very hot. Brush the grates with oil to keep the burgers from sticking. Grill the burgers for 8 minutes per side for medium. (The USDA recommends cooking ground beef until it is no longer pink and the internal temperature is 160 degrees F.) Remove the burgers to a clean side plate while you toast the buns.
• Rub the grill rack with more oil and place the buns cut-side down, toast for 1 minute. Serve the burgers with your favorite condiment and any garnish you like, such as lettuce, sliced tomato, onion, and/or avocado.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium.
• In a bowl combine beef, garlic, hot sauce, salt and pepper, to taste, being careful not to over mix. Warm a skillet over medium heat and fry bacon until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Keep heat on skillet and fry a pinch of the beef in the bacon fat to test seasoning. Adjust seasoning, if needed, then form 8 even thin patties, about 1/2-inch thick and set aside. Saute onions in bacon fat in skillet until tender, 5 minutes. Place onions and bacon in a bowl with cheese. Form a spoonful of bacon-cheese mixture into a ball, then place in the center of 4 patties. Top each with another patty and seal the edges. Grill burgers over medium-high heat, flipping once until desired doneness is reached, approximately 4 minutes each side for medium. Serve in buns with garnishes. Alternative: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, sear the burgers 4 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Cook and stir bacon in medium skillet on medium heat until crisp. Meanwhile, cut thin slice off top of each onion; discard top. Use small spoon to scoop out centers of onions, leaving 1/2-inch-thick shells. Finely chop removed onions.
• Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon, reserving 1 Tbsp. drippings in skillet. Drain bacon on paper towels. Add 1/2 cup chopped onions to drippings in skillet. (Reserve any remaining chopped onions for another use.) Cook 5 min. or until onions are crisp-tender. Add chiles and garlic; cook 2 min. Stir in bacon.
• Heat grill to medium heat. Mix cream cheese, shredded cheese and thyme in medium bowl; stir in bacon mixture. Spoon into onion shells. Place 1 on each of 6 large sheets heavy-duty foil; drizzle with dressing. Wrap foil tightly around onions, leaving room for heat circulation inside.
• Grill 25 min. or until onions are tender.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt, black pepper, barbeque sauce and garlic powder using your hands. Taking a small handful at a time (approximately 1/4 pound), shape into 12 patties. Lay patties out on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap; place patties in the refrigerator.
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon from skillet with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Turn the heat down to medium and pan fry the onions in the remaining bacon drippings until soft and translucent and just beginning to brown. Mix together onions and bacon in a small bowl.
• Prepare a grill or large skillet for medium heat.
• As the grill heats, pull beef patties out of the refrigerator; top 6 of the patties with 1- 1/2 tablespoons of the bacon and onion mixture each, and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Top each with one of the remaining patties and press the edges together to seal.
• Grill or pan fry the stuffed and sealed patties until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve on hamburger buns with condiments of your choice.

Steps:

• Preheat grill pan over high heat.
• In a medium pan brown bacon over medium high heat and drain on paper towel lined plate.
