Ingredients:
- 4 large onions
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup bang-bang sauce
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the onions by cutting off the tops and bottoms. Peel away the outer skin, then carefully hollow out the centers, leaving about a 1/4-inch thick shell. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled bacon, shredded pepper jack cheese, breadcrumbs, bang-bang sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated, but do not overmix.
- Stuff each onion shell tightly with the beef mixture, pressing gently to ensure they are well packed.
- Place the stuffed onions upright on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked and the onions are tender.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle additional shredded cheese and bacon over the tops during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Tips
- Use sweet onions for a milder flavor or yellow onions for a more classic savory taste.

- Make ahead by preparing and stuffing the onions, then refrigerating until ready to bake.
