Baked Stuffed Vidalia Onions Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Lillyann / All my dishes 1 year, 12 months ago 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! Prep:30m Cook:20m Servings:6	Lillyann

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

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.

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. Peel onions and slice off the tops; boil for 12 to 15 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Drain, cool and remove the centers, leaving the shell intact. Chop onion centers and reserve 1/2 cup.

Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and set aside, reserving drippings. Saute green pepper and 1/2 cup chopped onion in sausage drippings.

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. Cover and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Uncover, and bake an additional 5 minutes.

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...
