Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet onions
  • 12 hickory-smoked bacon strips
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce

Directions

  1. Cut each onion into 12 wedges. Cut bacon strips in half widthwise; wrap a piece of bacon around each onion wedge and secure with toothpicks. Place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. dish.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, vinegar, molasses and barbecue sauce; pour 1/2 cup over onions. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning once. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
  3. Drain and discard marinade. Grill onions, covered, over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, turning and basting frequently with reserved marinade.
