LB said they cap a Vidalia onion (yellow onions would be the next best choice) to create an indention and then add a bouillon cube and butter to the top. The whole deal is wrapped in aluminum foil and placed on the grill.
As you can see from the photo, I did not have any bouillon. I had to improvise and decided to cover my onion with A1 sauce. I added the butter and some seasoning. If you read my recent post on grilling and were a good student, you know I like to cook with low heat most of the time. I put the onion on the top rack and just let it slow cook while I was tending to the other food. I forgot to time it, but I'm guessing it was on the grill for roughly 40 minutes or so.
After everything was done and I had all the food back inside, I anxiously opened this sucker and cut into it! OH, MY WORD! Talk about something GOOD! It was fantastic! It didn't appear the A1 sauce stuck to the onion very well during cooking, but appearances were deceiving. The sauce permeated the onion and I could taste it through the whole thing! Very nice flavor!
I just had to share this since most people probably wouldn't see LB's comment where she talked about it. And I may be the only person in the world who hasn't tried grilling a whole Vidalia onion this way, but you know what? I don't care. This chizz is good stuff! I'm going to be experimenting with various sauces and seasonings just to see what kind of flavors I can get. The A1 gets thumbs up!
Thanks, LB! This is my new favorite way to grill onions! I will also be fixing onions this way at the cabin during hunting season.

i can practically smell it! :) looks delicious!
i can see it now: LB & BJK's Hunting, Grilling and Good Eatin' Cookbook! (next you'll have to try frog legs...)
Ha! One step ahead on the frog legs. We eat those and fresh fish at the cabin during hunting season. Good stuff! My buddy, Jim, always says he eats better at the cabin than he does at home.
Grilled onions are awesome.
Well, I've never tried this either, so...
Looks delicious. Will definitely try. :)
i figured you'd done the frog legs before - but i think i'd pay money to watch 'em hop around on your grill, tho! :)
This sounds good enough to start eating onions! lol I'll have to try it for the next BBQ and see what others think of it, I'm "allergic" to onions. ;-)
A fine and tasty look'n post to be sure buddyman. Mmmm. Now where's that yellow onion at again?? :-) LarryB
I'm not sure if I am more excited seeing my name in lights here on the famous blog of HeyBJK ...or that I finally have documentation of you being nice to me! ;)
Glad you liked it! You'll have to let me know what your favorite combo is at the end of summer when you're done experimenting so we can try it here.
This looks amazing.
Love trying something new- will have to do this!!!!
I love onions, grilled, fried, pickled. Am gonna have to try these. We have what is called Walla Walla Sweet onions. I'll be picking one up to try this recipe on.
I don't know who came up with this one, but my wife has been doing these for a couple years now and I must admit they are incredible. By far better than any other method tried so far.
Thanks for sharing.
