A simple way to get flavorful onions

Big Poppa loves “sautéing” onions in a foil pouch. It’s a quick and easy method that doesn’t require another pan. Seriously, the hardest part of this recipe is cutting the onions.

Use these onions anywhere you want to add more flavor: steaks, tacos, sandwiches, soups, pizzas… the sky’s the limit. Big Poppa likes using them on his Upside Down Tabasco Butter Burger.

Ingredients

  • 2 sweet white onions, halved, cut into slices
  • 1 tablespoon Tabasco Original Red
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon Big Poppa’s Little Louie’s Garlic Seasoning w/Black Pepper

  • 3 pats of salted butter
  • 2 large sheets of heavy duty foil – foil grilling bags also work

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to 300F
  2. Slice onions into thin strips
  3. Lay foil out – double layer (will need to fold into a pouch)
  4. Place cut onions on top of the foil
  5. Season onions with Big Poppa Smokers Little Louie’s Garlic Seasoning w/Black Pepper
  6. Drizzle Tabasco Original Red over onions
  7. Add 3 pats of butter on top of onions
  8. Seal/fold foil into a pouch – make sure to seal all edges/corners so butter and moisture doesn’t leak out
  9. Place foil pouch on the grill at 300F for 20 min
  10. Remove foil pouch and carefully open to pour onions into a dish
  11. Use as a garnish on steaks, sandwiches, burgers, anything you’d put onions on – serve hot
