How this recipe comes together
Making these delectable onion bombs is easier than you might think! Start by prepping your sweet onions—slice off the tops and bottoms and create a cavity to hold all that delicious filling. Cook your bacon until it’s perfectly crispy, then mix in the cheese. Once your onions are stuffed to the brim, they’re ready to bake until tender. You’ll prepare the sticky glaze on the stovetop during this time, stirring the luscious sauce until it thickens. Finally, brush the glaze over the onions and broil them for that irresistible caramelized finish. Ready to dive into deliciousness?
