3 more cheers for dear old Dad! I'm sure the gold courses will be mobbed this weekend too so look for something else to do. I'm thinking there will be a lot of BBQs too and these GRILLED BACON AND ONION SKEWERS would make a great side with your menu...whether burgers, chops or steaks.
So enjoy Dad, Pops, Gramps, Daddio, Father, Daddy and all of the other special variety of nicknames we have for you this recipe today is for you!
GRILLED BACON AND ONION SKEWERS
INGREDIENTS:
2 large sweet onions, cut in wedges
8 thick hickory-smoked bacon slices, cut in half
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon molasses
long wooden skewers
DIRECTIONS:
Soak long wooden picks in water 30 minutes before threading with onion wedges. WRAP onion wedges with bacon; secure with long wooden picks. Place in a large shallow dish. COMBINE sugar, vinegar, and molasses; drizzle over onion wedges. Cover and chill 1 hour. REMOVE onion wedges from marinade, reserving marinade. GRILL, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350-400 degrees) 20 minutes or until onion wedges are crisp-tender, turning and basting occasionally with reserved marinade.
Yield: 4 Servings
