Steps:

• If preparing in the oven, preheat oven to 350 degree F.
• Trim and peel the onion but leave the root intact. Cut a very thin sliver off of the root end if you need to level the onion. Cut a 1-inch core out of the top of the onion; reserve scraps for another use.
• Peel the garlic and cut into slivers; stuff into the onion.
• Place onion onto a square of heavy duty aluminum foil large enough to wrap the onion and enclose the top.
• Drizzle onion with the balsamic vinegar, place the butter into the center of onion, and season lightly with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning.
• Wrap onion with one slice of bacon, then the other, securing with a toothpick if needed. Seal foil tightly around the onion.
• Place onto a hot grill or bake on a tray in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 1 hour.
• Carefully open the tops of the packets and return to the oven for 20 minutes, to crisp the bacon.
• Serve as is in the packets, one per person, or use a spatula to remove onion to a serving platter. Cut larger onions into quarters. Pour juices over the top and serve.

VIDALIA HEAVEN

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Peel each onion, and core out the center. Drop a beef bouillon in the core of each onion, and cover the bouillon with 1 tablespoon of butter. Wrap tightly with aluminum foil.
• Cook on grill for 30 to 60 minutes, or to desired doneness. Be careful not to puncture the aluminum foil, or the juices will drip out, and the onion will burn.

BAKED VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Quarter onions halfway through and open slightly. Place each on a 18x12-in. piece of heavy-duty foil. Place 2 teaspoons butter in center of each onion; sprinkle with salt, pepper and, if desired, garlic salt. Fold foil to seal tightly. Bake at 350° until onions are tender, 50-60 minutes. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

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).
