Keto Stuffed Onion Bombs
If you’re in need of a hefty dose of protein, this stuffed onion bomb recipe will certainly do the trick! Each portion is literally packed with flavorful ground beef, encased in a juicy sweet onion shell, and then wrapped in smoky bacon for good measure. You could also cook these onion bombs on a grill, so you don’t have to be left eating a bunless cheeseburger at any future barbecues!

2 pound
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
2 ounce
Spices Garlic Powder
½ tsp
Salt
1 teaspoon

Yellow Onions
7-¼ ounce
Bacon

Recipe Steps
steps 6
55 min
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, combine the ground beef with the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, italian seasoning, cayenne, and mustard powder. Set this aside.Step 2
To prepare the onion shells, grab 3-6 large onions that are as round as possible. You will be using only the largest outer layers of each onion. Remove the tops and bottoms of all the onions, and peel away the brown skins.Step 3
Cut each onion in half, long ways. Use your fingers to gently remove one to two layers from each onion. You should end up with 12 onion halves total, which will make 6 onion bombs. If some of the layers are still a little green, this is okay.Step 4
Fill each onion half with ground beef. Don’t let the ground beef filling dome over, but don’t pack it in too tightly either.Step 5
Separate your bacon slices so they are easily accessible. To assemble the onion bombs, press together two filled halves to make a whole. Wrap two pieces of bacon over the top of the onion, so they close under the entire thing. Wrap a third piece around the center. Use two skewers per onion bomb to secure everything in place.Step 6
Place the onion bombs evenly across a metal oven rack, and place that over a sheet tray for catching any drippings (there will be a lot). Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the center of each onion bomb has an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Serve hot!

I use ground turkey instead of beef.

Looks good and relatively easy to make. I’m wondering if they can be cooked in something besides the oven? Maybe air fryer, instapot or skillet?

That amount of protein can't be correct,.... 70 gms per serving??? What am I missing.

Hi there, Don't be alarmed - yes, there is a large amount of protein in each serving. These onion bombs are intended to be big, so there's a lot of protein per serving. If this is too much for your personal taste, a half serving can still be a satisfying amount as part of a full meal. Hope this helps!

These Keto Stuffed Onion Bombs are the bomb, the flavor was so good, I wish they had fewer calories in them I'd eat them as a snack. Will definitely make again.

Looks good, but way to much protein for such a small amount of food . 70g protein is the limit for a whole day for the average person
HappyKetoMama 6 years ago
They are actually 70g per person, not 37g. The recipe writer left a reply on another comment confirming the 70g.

There are 7g protein in 1 oz beef, so the entire recipe that serves 6 is only 37g per person, that's not bad, half fgor the day, I only do 2 good meals a day so this would be nice!!
