My "Let's Smoke a Fatty!" entry.
A fiery onion bomb with a hidden treasure on the inside. I have never made a "fatty" before so I hit the interweb and came across a link for a bacon meatball onion bomb and thought man that looks tasty so I thought I would spice it up a bit and give it a try. Boy am I glad I did, these things are awesome!
Ingredients. This is the base recipe that I found online. I added some twists to fit my tastes.
Yellow Onions
1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced mushrooms
1/4 cup parsley
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp spicy ketchup
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 pack of bacon
BBQ sauce
Cut the tops and bottoms off of the onions and cut them in half. Set aside some of the thick onion peels. (Don't use the outer peel as it is tough and chewy.) Mix the ground beef and other ingredients in a bowl. I decided to add minced garlic and chopped jalapeños to the mix. I then cut the tops off of some fresh jalapeños, seeded them and stuffed them with sharp cheddar cheese. I put the jalapeños in the center and covered them with the meat mixture, put the onion layers around the meat and wrapped them in bacon.
Out to old smokey at 225 for 1 hour
After an hour baste in your favorite BBQ sauce. I used Sweet Baby Rays original. Cook until the sauce has caramelized to your liking.

I will definitely be making these again, they were absolutely fantastic.
