Classic Baked Vidalia Onion

A baked Vidalia onion is a southern classic. I rediscovered this recipe when a friend gave me a bag of Vidalia onions and I was trying to think of how to use them. This recipe is very easy and makes a great side dish for almost anything.

Ingredients

1 Vidalia onion

1 Beef, chicken, or vegetable bouillon cube

1–2 Tbsp. butter

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Peel your onion, leaving the root intact. If your onion sits level, you can leave it alone. If not, cut a thin slice off the root to create a flat bottom
• Use a paring knife to cut a 1 inch deep cone into the top of the onion.
• Insert a beef, chicken, or vegetable bouillon cube into the hole.
• Top the hole with butter, about 1-2 tablespoons. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place the filled onion on a sheet of foil large enough to encase it.
• Wrap the onion in foil, bringing the edges up in the center. Twist the foil together to seal the onion in. Place the foil-wrapped onion on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 55-60 minutes, until the onion is tender. Serve warm.
