Uncle Wilson's Grilled Onions

• 6 large sweet white onions, such as Vidalia
• 12 strips bacon
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt and pepper

1. Peel and wash the onions.
2. With the point of a small, sharp knife, cut a 1-inch core from the top of each onion and make shallow slits in a circle around the top.
3. Wrap 2 slices of bacon horizontally around each onion, and secure them with toothpicks.
4. Then put 1 teaspoon of butter in each core.
5. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Place each onion on a square of aluminum foil and bring the edges together at the top, leaving a small opening for steam to escape.
7. Put the foil-wrapped onions on the grill and cook for 1 hour, or until the onions are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
8. You can also bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.
9. Cool the onions for a few minutes then unwrap and cut into quarters to serve.
