Sweet Stuffed Onions

Sweet Stuffed Onions is an easy addition to your campfire meals.  This campfire dinner recipe is very easy to prepare!

Ingredients

• 4 extra-large sweet onions
• 1 pound thinly-cut pork sirloin, cubed (or substitute other meat)
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 cup boxed cornbread stuffing mix
• 2 tablespoons mild green chile powder
• 3 large poblano chiles, roasted, peeled and seeded
• ¼ cup sweet red pepper, chopped
• ½ cup Mexican Parmesan cheese, grated
• cilantro and avocado for garnish (optional)

Directions

1.  Slice the tops off of the onions ¼ of the way down, and slice the roots from bottom creating a flat bottom.  Peel the skins from the onions. Cut an ‘X’ into the center and use a spoon or melon baller to remove the center portion, leaving the walls approximately ½-inch thick. Dice ¼ cup of onion from the centers and store the remaining onion for use in another recipe.

2.  Mix diced onion with pork, salt and pepper, cumin, stuffing mix, chile powder, poblano chiles, red pepper and cheese. Fill each onion bowl with mixture. Wrap onions in large squares of heavy duty foil, bringing seams together on top by flattening the foil slightly. Keep wrapped onions upright and nestle each on hot coals. With a small shovel, top each onion with 1 to 2 hot coals.

3.  Cook approximately 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into center registers 175-180°F. Remove from coals, carefully open foil and serve. Garnish with cilantro and avocado, if desired.  Serves 4.

Remember to bring a few kitchen utensils — a spoon, large mixing bowl, sharp knife, meat thermometer, and foil to prepare this free campfire recipe for Stuffed Onions at the campsite.
