• Use a paring knife to cut a 1 inch deep cone into the top of the onion.
• Insert a vegetable, chicken or beef bouillon cube into the hole.
• Fill the rest of 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.

BAKED VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Top with pat of butter, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce, to taste. Place in dish and bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour, or until tender (check on these; you don't want it overcooked and too soft).
