CLASSIC BAKED VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Peel your onion, leaving the root intact. If your onion sits level, you can leave it alone. If not, cut a thin slice off the root to create a flat bottom.
• Use a paring knife to cut a 1 inch deep cone into the top of the onion.
• Insert a vegetable, chicken or beef bouillon cube into the hole.
• Fill the rest of the hole with butter, about 1-2 tablespoons. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place the filled onion on a sheet of foil large enough to encase it.
• Wrap the onion in foil, bringing the edges up in the center. Twist the foil together to seal the onion in. Place the foil-wrapped onion on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 45-60 minutes, until the onion is tender. Serve warm.

BAKED VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Get the biggest Vidalias you can find. Peel and cut a thin slice off the top and bottom of the onion so that it sits flat in a casserole dish. Take out a little of the core and cut a bit X in the top of the onion. Place each onion on a large square of aluminum foil.
• Top with pat of butter, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce, to taste. Place in dish and bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour, or until tender (check on these; you don't want it overcooked and too soft).
• Variation: Prepare onions as above, but instead of Worcestershire sauce, pour on about 2 Tablespoons of Kahlua before baking. It makes them nice and sweet. You can also put these on a gas grill or nestle them right down into the charcoal (use heavy-duty aluminum foil).
