Ingredients

  • 3 quarts water
  • 4 medium sweet onions, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
  • 6 teaspoons butter, divided
  • 1/2 cup chopped fully cooked lean ham
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs, divided

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add onions; cover and boil for 9-11 minutes or until tender. Drain; cool for 5 minutes. Cut a thin slice off the top of each onion; carefully hollow out, leaving a 1/2-in. shell. Chop removed onion.
  • In a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook the chopped onion, green onion and parsley in 4 teaspoons butter for 3 minutes. Add the ham, salt, pepper, celery seed and garlic powder; cook until onions are tender and ham is lightly browned. Stir in 1/4 cup bread crumbs; heat through. Stuff into onion shells.
