Stuffed Onions

Stuffed Onions

Ingredients-

4 large white onions

3 cans 6 ounce tomatoe paste

1 lb ground beef, (or half it beef/pork, chicken/turkey or even lamb)

1 bag frozen brown rice (Steamable)

2 tblspn garlic

1 mozzerella ball, (or 1/2 bag of shredded mozzerella)

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Directions-

Peel all four onions, then carefully cut the bottom to make a even base. Then carefully cut the top part of the onion off. Using a spoon carefully core the inner layers out, hollowing out the onion, leaving about 2-3 layers of onion shell on sides and about 1/4-1/2 inch of onion thickness for the bottom. What I suggest next is to drop the onions into a pot of boiling water with just about 1/2 tbl spn of evoo, let boil for about 10-15 minutes to soften the onion and remove some of the "Heat" from it. Do not let the onions turn mushy. While the onions are hot tubing it, go ahead and brown up the meat of your choice, then drain and rinse of grease (eww greasy meat sucks). While meat is browning cook the frozen rice in the microwave according to the package. Then once the meat and the rice is done, combine in a bowl with the tomatoe paste, the garlic, and parmesan cheese. Note the mixture should be THICK. So once combined and the onions done bathing in the boiling pot and drained/dried... we move on to the second part.

Fill each onion with the mixture and place on a cookie sheet, baking in the oven for about 30 minutes. This is where you slice or add the mozzerella cheese to the top and place back in the oven letting it cook until the cheese is melted and slightly browning.

Enjoy!
