Southern-baked Sweet Onions
Servings:
1 onion per person
Preparation Time:
1.5 hours
Ingredients
- 1 Sweet Onion (preferably a Vidalia)
- 1 chicken bullion cube
- 1/2 tbsp butter (stick)
- Garlic salt
Cooking Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and get a shallow square baking dish.
Square top and bottom of onion (so it sits flat and has a flat top) and peel skin.
Taking a large knife, flower the onion by making four cuts that don't quite go all the way through the onion.
Spread the onion open, and push the chicken bullion cube down into the middle of the onion. Season with garlic salt to taste - if you like garlic, add a bunch, otherwise just a dash.
Press the butter down over the cube, then set the prepared onion on top of a single sheet of aluminum foil.
Wrap the foil up so the ends all come together at the top - this is critical! The foil will be containing all the liquids from the butter and onion and must have no rips or holes below the top. Twist the foil together at the top, enclosing the onion inside.
Bake at 350 for 60 minutes. Remove and enjoy.
