Sausage Stuffed Onion Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a Dutch oven, bring a small amount of water to a boil. Peel onions; using a slotted spoon, place onions in boiling water. Cook for 4-6 minutes more until softened; remove and let stand until cool enough to handle. Cut a 1/4-in. slice off the top of each onion. Remove center, leaving a 1/2-in shell. Chop centers and tops of onions; set aside. In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp; remove to paper towel to drain. In the drippings, saute chopped onion until tender. Stir in bread crumbs and parsley. Add the butter and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms are tender. Add bacon, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stuff onion shells; place in an ungreased shallow 1-qt. baking dish. Pour broth around onions. Bake, uncovered, until tender, 45 minutes, basting frequently during the first 15 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Hollow out each mushroom cap, reserving scrapings.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage, onion, and reserved mushroom scrapings in hot skillet until sausage is browned and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain and discard grease; return sausage mixture to skillet.
• Stir 3 ounces Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, garlic, and parsley into sausage mixture. Cook and stir until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stuff each mushroom cap with sausage mixture and place on a baking sheet.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375ºF.
• Use small spoon to scoop out centers of onions, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells; reserve removed onion pieces for later use. Cut thin slice off bottom of each onion half to allow onion to stand upright.
• Place 1 of the removed onion pieces in bottom of each onion half, cutting as necessary to completely cover bottom of onion shell. Chop enough of the remaining removed onion pieces to measure 1/2 cup. Reserve any remaining onion pieces for another use.
• Crumble sausage into large skillet; stir in chopped onions. Cook on medium heat 6 to 8 min. or until sausage is done, stirring frequently; drain. Return sausage mixture to skillet; stir in Parmesan, 3/4 cup pasta sauce, 1/2 cup shredded cheese and 2 Tbsp. oregano.
• Place 1 onion half on center of each of 4 large sheets heavy-duty foil; fill with sausage mixture. Wrap with foil to form 4 packets.
• Bake 20 min. or until onions are tender. Carefully open tops of packets. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese over onions; bake 5 min. or until melted. Sprinkle with remaining oregano.
• Serve with remaining pasta sauce.

Steps:

• Select very large onions, 4 inches or so in diamater. Prepare onions by peeling off the papery skin, then slicing off about 1/2 inch from the top of the onions. Trim the root end, taking off the very least amount of flesh possible. Take a very thin slice from the root, just barely enough to help the onion remain standing on that end without toppling over.
• Using a small, sharp knife and a spoon, hollow out the onions. Leave a wall of onion that is two layers thick at the top. Use the knife to cut into the top of the onion down into the center, leaving the outer 2 layers intact. Use the spoon to scoop the interior flesh out. Use care when you approach the bottom of the onion, the layers are thiner there and you may need to leave a bit more flesh.
• Finely chop the onion trimmings from one onion. Discard the remaining onion trimmings, or reserve for another use. Set asidethe onion shells.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x9 baking dish by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
• Fry the sausage, crumbling into small bits as it cooks. When the meat is about halfway done, add the chopped onion and continue cooking until the meat is done and the onion tender.
• Add the can of tomatoes, with their juice. Simmer a few minutes, until the tomatoes are heated through and the juice has blended into the meat.
• Remove from heat and add the cheese, stir through.
• Spoon the sausage mixture into the onion shells, packing down tightly. Place the filled onions in the prepared baking dish and place in oven. Bake for 60 minutes, or until the onions are tender and beginning to brown.
• Sometimes I fill the onions, then refrigerate for another day. The cooking time is about the same. I have also used the same stuffing to fill bell peppers. The peppers bake for a slightly shorter time, about 45 minutes is usually long enough for them to be tender.

Steps:

Scoop out the inside of each onion (about halfway down) using a melon baller or a spoon. Season insides with salt. Transfer onions to a baking dish, and cover with parchment, then foil. Bake until just starting to soften, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble sausage into skillet, and cook, stirring, until almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add apple and fennel seeds, and cook until sausage is no longer pink, about 2 minutes.
