Ingredients

• 4 large Vidalia Onions
• Kosher Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper
• 1 stick unsalted Butter at room temperature
• 3 slices Bacon cooked and crumbled
• 2/3 cup crumbled Blue Cheese
• 2 tablespoons freshly chopped Thyme Leaves
• Special equipment: Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil

Instructions

• Preheat grill to medium heat.
• Cut onion top and "backtail" so onion can sit flat. Peel the onion. Using a paring knife cut a hollow cone-like shape into the center of the onion making sure not to go all the way to the bottom. Salt and pepper the cavity.
• Place onions on individual squares of heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Add the butter, bacon, blue cheese, and thyme to a bowl and mix until well combined.
• Add large dollops of the butter to each cavity of the onions. Fold the aluminum foil all around the onion, gathering at the top and sealing to create a tent.
• Place on the grill over direct heat and cover the grill. Cook for 30 minutes until onions are soft. Let cool for 5 minutes before opening the foil packet and serving.
