It’s no secret that I have a love for Vidalia onions. Long before I began Mother Thyme I was a huge fan of Vidalia’s and their distinct flavor. They are my preferred onion to use in many of my recipes.

If you are looking for new side dishes to try you need to add these Stuffed Vidalia onions on the list. And if you are entertaining and want a side dish that is bound to impress, these are sure to be a hit. You can even prep these ahead of time and about 45 minutes before you are ready to serve you just pop them in the oven.

For the moment you cut into these and take your first bite you’ll be in heaven. The onions are so soft and tender you can almost cut it with a fork. It is definitely worth the little effort it takes to make these.

FUN FACT – For over 20 years, the Vidalia onion has been the Official State Vegetable of Georgia. 

If you are grilling up some juicy steaks these Stuffed Vidalia Onions are a must have. I even love them alone or on top of some fresh greens drizzled with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar. However you decide to serve these I know you’ll definitely want to make them again.

STORING TIPS – Wrap each onion individually in paper towels and place in the veggie draw with the vents closed.
