Dutch Oven Stuffed Onions....more camp food

I had not made these in a long time. Not sure why it has taken me so long, I really love em. :)



Had a bag of large sweet onions from the Rocky Ford Colorado area, so I took them camping with me.
They were pretty big so I halved them and scooped out the centers. (saved the center for other meals)







made my stuffing by combining 2 eggs, minced garlic, beef bouillon, ketsup and water...




then added bread crumbs.. I used a couple of slices of regular ole bread...



a couple of pounds of lean ground beef..



Added cubed potatoes to the bottom of the dutch oven...
stuffed the onion halves and topped with dry seasoned bread crumbs.



added a small amount of beef stock to the pot..







I let them bake for about one hour, rotating the lid every so often for even cooking...





did a bit of fishing while waiting :)



The beef stuffed onions...












These were really good. Normally I would stuff small whole onions, wrap in foil and cook in a bed of coals on the campfire, but these dutch oven ones worked out great. I was a happy camper. :)

Hey Thanks Rocco!
Think these would be good with any meatloaf recipe for a filling.
Hope you are having a great weekend. :)

Thanks Lisa! Hope you have great luck with it.
I think I'll try it in the oven and see how they come out. Would be good winter comfort food. :)
Hope you had a great weekend!

This is one to try . . . I can almost smell those onions cooking. My wife and I are huge fans of the onion. Thanks for sharing.
