Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Vidalia onion
  • 1 (4 gram) vegetable, chicken, or beef bouillon cube*
  • 12 Tbsp. butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Peel your onion, leaving the root intact. If your onion sits level, you can leave it alone. If not, cut a thin slice off the root to create a flat bottom.
  2. Use a paring knife to cut a 1 inch deep cone into the top of the onion.
  3. Insert a vegetable, chicken or beef bouillon cube into the hole.
  4. Fill the rest of the hole with butter, about 1-2 tablespoons. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Place the filled onion on a sheet of foil large enough to encase it.
  6. 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.
  7. Bake for 45-60 minutes, until the onion is tender. Serve warm.

Notes

*We’re using a standard-sized 4 gram bouillon cube here, not extra-large ones. You can cut large ones smaller as needed. If you’re using granulated bouillon, use 1 tablespoon. Alternatively, you can use 1 teaspoon of your favorite seasoning blend. Note that if the blend doesn’t contain salt, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
