Vidalia onions are stuffed with a mixture of rice, sausage, bell pepper, cream cheese and herbs, and baked. Onions are often seen as only being a base ingredient to stews and casseroles. However, when baked they can make a delicious side dish!

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
  • 6 large Vidalia onions
  • 3/4 pound ground spicy pork sausage
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a saucepan bring 1 cup water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

  4. In a large bowl combine green pepper, onion, sausage, egg, 1 cup cooked rice, cream cheese, oregano and parsley. Spoon mixture into onion shells and place in prepared dish. Combine melted butter and paprika; brush tops of onions.
  5. 5. Cover and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Uncover, and bake an additional 5 minutes.

This looks great got to try.


Wunnafull! Wunnafull!


We love onions here! This is going to be the first thing I make! Yummy:))


Love stuffed onions! The oregano and paprika make this recipe especially great!


This dish might also work with other types of soft cheeses (e.g., mascarpone) or semi-soft like Feta or goat cheese.


We loved this! As I used extra-large onions, I had plenty of stuffing left over - so next day I scrambled it in a pan with an additional 2 eggs, and we ate it with toast. I was wondering if using 4oz of the cream cheese with some Monterey or Pepper Jack would be good, too...


You truly have the most amazing recipes. Looking forward to trying most of them!!! Yum
