Delicious stuffed baked onions filled with a savory meat mixture and topped with cheesy goodness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large sweet onions
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel the onions and slice off the tops. Carefully hollow out the center of each onion, leaving a thick outer shell. Finely chop part of the removed onion centers for the filling.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chopped onion pieces until soft and golden. Add garlic and stir for 1 minute. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Mix in tomato paste, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until rich and flavorful.
  4. Place the hollowed onions into a baking dish. Fill each onion generously with the meat mixture. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  5. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15-20 minutes until the onions are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbling.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground meat with lentils or mushrooms.
  • Feel free to add other spices to suit your taste.
  • These can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
