1 lb. lean ground beef
1/4 c. mushrooms, diced
1/4 c. fresh herbs (I used parsley)
1/4 c. breadcrumbs
1 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. Epicure's 3 Onion Dip Mix
1 tbsp. Epicure's Burger Seasoning or Meatloaf Seasoning
1 tbsp. ketchup
1 tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
salt (I used Epicure's Butcher Block Sea Salt)
2 onions
1-2 packs bacon
1/2 c. barbecue sauce
Combine first 10 ingredients, and season with salt. Slice onions in half down the middle, and peel the sections apart. Form a large meatball and encase it in 2 onion halves. Wrap in 2 or 3 slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks. Place in a baking dish, or I put them on a perforated pan and then put a baking sheet lined with tinfoil on the rack underneath to catch the grease. Bake at 425 F for 40 minutes, then baste with barbecue sauce and bake for another 5 minutes.
