$.38 a lb. at Kroger. Got my beef bouillon and butter ready!

Yummmmmmmmm!

What do you do with the boullion and butter ?

[bonappetit]

?.38 cents/lb? I've never seen onions on sale for that low of a price. NEVER!! The cheapest I see is .79/lb on sale. Otherwise, .99/lb & I'm talking about common yellow onions, nothing special. Sweet onion, whatever it is, & it is NOT Maui or Vidalia sells for 1.49/lb

These work great on the grill or in the oven!

You can also use a low sodium bouillon  if you choose/need to and you can use a cube or a tablespoon of a paste type bouillon.

Peel the onion, trim off the top and end portion. Use an apple corer and core the onion, trying not to go all the way through the onion.

If you do go all the way though when coring, no biggie since you'll be wrapping it in foil, which will hold the bullion & butter in.

After coring, place 1 tablespoon of butter/margarine and 1 bouillon cube or 1 tablespoon bouillon paste.

Place on foil squares large enough the wrap foil around onion and twist top.

Oven - 350 about 45 min. depending on size. (press foil to see if soft)

Grill - close to hot coals 45 min. turning often till soft.

Soooo good, like french onion soup!

You'll want to serve these in a bowl, due to the yummy juice or it will run all over your plate!

I'm in Savannah, GA not far from Vidalia. Not much 'shipping cost' I suppose.

Farmers drive their pick up trucks full to the Farmer's Market and the grocers buy from them.

That sounds amazing !

BUY BUY BUY!!!  Buy them up and freeze them for later.  Now they won't taste like a fresh onion, but they are great for cooking in soups, stews, casseroles, baked dishes....etc....BUT NOT in dishes like fresh onions would.  You can also go ahead and slice, chop, dice, mince, julienne, etc for your freezer storage.  You can also store them in a cold dark place for a long time, months, like someone mentioned here, she keeps them in her crisper drawer all year.  Only at the end of the year do they start to sprout, which you cut off and eat.

Why would you core an onion?

The core is the sweetest part.

I prefer Texas Sweet, much more flavor than a Vidalia

(I live in Alabama)

@software You can split the onion and flare it out a bit to put the butter and beef cube in. The whole point of coring it, is to have somewhere to put the beef bullion cube and butter for the baking/grilling. You can do this with any onion, preferable not a very strong one.

Vidalias were priced at 59 cents a pound at my local grocery last week; today they were 99 cents a pound, but they are huge onions.
