For the meat mix:

to wrap the meatballs:

Pic1: onion bomb

Pic2: cut
Pic3: mix
Pic4: stuff & wrap

Cut top and bottom of the onion. Peel the dry skirts.
Cut the onion halfway through the center. Carefully separate the outer skirt layers.
Pic2 shows a halved onion, try to keep the skirts in one piece by cutting only one side.
If you really like onions, keep the onion skirts doubled up.
Set aside the larger outer skirts for the onion bombs. Chop the inner ones for the meat mixture.
Mix the ground beef with the remaining ingredients, except the bacon. (Pic3)
Stuff the onion skirts with meat. (Pic4)

Pic5: wrap with bacon
Pic6+7: paint and bake

Wrap bacon all around the onion bomb. If necessary, use toothpicks to keep it in place.
Bake in oven for 30 minutes at 350 ºF.
Remove, paint with BBQ sauce. Bake 5 minutes. Repeat this 2 or 3 times.
Serve and enjoy.
