Vidalia Onions a la Mike

[Mike]

Me and my son-in-law came up with this once upon a time. He is from Vidalia and still lives there.

Prepare one nice sized onion for each person to be served.

Peel the outer layer off the onion

Core the onion about 3/4 of the way down

Into the hole from coring put a pat of real butter, a teaspoon of Tone's Beef Base (similiar to Demi-Glaze but not near so costly) which is like bullion but much richer and darker......and tastier. I believe I got my Tone's at Sam's Warehouse. Drizzle into the core about a teaspoon of bourbon (don't use Old Crow.......use something rich in flavor).

Wrap the onion(s) in foil and cook on the grill or in the oven for a half hour or so. The onion gets steamed with the great flavors.

As Justin Wilson used to say, 'Man, that some good stuff!'

Sopping up the juice that's left after you eat your onion with some of MikeK's bread would be some mighty fine eating.

Mike,

Sopping up the juice that's left after you eat your onion with some of MikeK's bread would be some mighty fine eating.

I just can't believe how many wonderful ideas have popped up already! This one sounds just crazy good! I love Vidalias...could almost eat one raw. This is an absolute must-try!

Also, I agree with you about the Tone's. Can't be beat. I love the idea that the first ingredient on the label is actually beef...
