Foil Wrapped Onions Recipes

UNCLE WILSON'S GRILLED ONIONS

Steps:

• Peel and wash the onions. With the point of a small, sharp knife, cut a 1-inch core from the top of each onion and make shallow slits in a circle around the top. Wrap 2 slices of bacon horizontally around each onion, and secure them with toothpicks. Then put 1 teaspoon of butter in each core. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place each onion on a square of aluminum foil and bring the edges together at the top, leaving a small opening for steam to escape. Put the foil-wrapped onions on the grill and cook for 1 hour, or until the onions are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. You can also bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Cool the onions for a few minutes then unwrap and cut into quarters to serve.

GRILLED MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
• Fold an 18-inch wide piece of aluminum foil so it is square.
• Place onions, mushrooms, and garlic in the middle of the foil. Arrange butter pieces on top of vegetables and drizzle with steak seasoning. Bring 4 corners of the foil together in the center, and crimp any open spaces to seal packet.
• Place the foil packet on the preheated grill and cook until vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from grill, open packet carefully, and serve.

TIN FOIL RED POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Slice red potatoes so they are about an 1/2 inch thick.*.
• Chop onions into large peices.
• Put the olive oil into a bowl.
• Put all of the onions and potatoes into the bowl with olive oil.
• Stir the veggies (preferably with a slotted spoon) until they are all equally coated with olive oil.
• Take the cookie sheet and place some tin foil on the sheet.
• Make a cross with two sheets of tin foil on the foil covered cookie sheet (make sure you have enough foil to create a pouch for your potatoes and onions).
• **I think Reynolds sells pre made aluminum foil pouches -- I didn't have them handy but my homemade pouch worked fine.**.
• Transfer the onions and potatoes to the center of the tin foil cross, making sure to drain the excess olive oil (why the slotted spoon comes in handy!).
• When you have all the veggies in the middle sprinkle your seasoning mixture on the potatoes, putting as much on as you like.
• After seasoning, take all four sides of the tin foil cross and bring them up and into the center, making a little pouch for the potatoes and onions to cook inches.
• Place in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.
• Potatoes will be done when you can stick a fork through a potato without resistance.
• *Adjust cooking time to fit the size of the potatoes you want.

GRILLED ONION BLOSSOMS (FOIL WRAPPED)

• Drizzle over onions.
• Sprinkle with brown sugar.
• Seal each onion in the foil packet using a double fold leaving head space for steam to build.
• Grill on a covered grill for about 25 minutes or until onions are nearly tender.
• Make a 2 inch opening in the top of each packet.
• Cover and grill for 10 minutes more or until onions are slightly browned.

BACON & ONION FOIL WRAPPED BAKED HOMEFRIES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Lay a layer of aluminum foil in the bottom of roasting pan. Cook your bacon until lightly crisped. Place bacon on paper to drain excess grease while preparing the remainder.
• 2. Using bacon grease from pan and using paper towel, lightly coat the aluminum foil with the grease to help prevent sticking.
• 3. Put in the foil your sliced potatoes, diced onion, parsley and garlic. Add 1/2 of the bacon and gently toss to mix well. Salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle the paprika.. gently toss to mix well again. Top with remaining bacon. Top with slices of butter.
• 4. Take the additional piece(s) of aluminum foil placing on the top of the mixture and sealing edges to bottom layer.
• 5. Bake in oven at 350 Degrees for 35 minutes. Remove foil to brown lightly for about 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Chef's Note: If cooking on the grill, bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until done. Can top with green onion, cheese, or mix grated sharp cheese into it during the cooking process.
