Meaty Stuffed Onions

Yield:
8 servings

Ingredients:

  1. 4 large sweet onions
  2. 1 lb. ground beef
  3. 1/2 lb. bulk pork sausage
  4. 1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  5. 5 slices day-old bread, crumbled
  6. 1/2-2/3 cups beef broth
  7. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  8. 1 egg, beaten
  9. 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  10. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  11. 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  12. 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions:

Peel onions and cut 1/2 inch off tops and bottoms. Place onions in a large sauce-pan. Cover with boiling water. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes; drain. Cool slightly.

Carefully remove inside layers of onions, separating into eight individual shells (refrigerate remaining onion for another use). Drain on paper towels.

In a skillet, cook beef and sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add spinach; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the remaining ingredients. Spoon into the onion shells. Place in a greased 12x9x2 in. baking pan.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until heated through and lightly browned.
