If you love onions (or butter), you need to try an onion boil. It's downright delicious.
I love the aroma of onions caramelizing in butter. That said, I never thought I would want to eat an entire onion all by myself. However, this viral TikTok recipe has me reallocating funds to a dedicated onion budget. If you have seen videos of creators making an onion boil, you understand why.
Like our recipe for creamed onions, the onion boil recipe is hardly new. However, it has blown up on social media and is probably causing onion farmers (and breath mint manufacturers) to see profits like never before. While some TikTokers dig into their onion boil straight up, others use this buttery, seasoned, tender onion to create unique burgers or finish a steak recipe. It’s an incredibly easy recipe that’s affordable, versatile and yields a huge flavor payoff.
As for seasonings, Old Bay is a popular choice (and, likely, why the recipe is known as a “boil”). However, you can doctor up your onion with any seasonings you enjoy. Steak seasoning, homemade taco seasoning, lemon pepper or curry powder would all taste great and give you leeway to enjoy this humble onion dish with just about any cuisine.

Using a sharp paring knife, core the center of a sweet onion to create a hollow well. For best results, don’t go all the way through the other side. Make sure the bottom of the onion stays intact, so the butter doesn’t leak out instantly.
Editor’s Tip: An apple corer or vegetable peeler also works for coring an onion.

In a small glass measuring cup, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and then microwave in 20-second intervals until completely melted. Stir in the herbs and seasonings, then pour the melted butter into the well in the center of the onion, allowing it to overflow and pool around the bottom.

Bring up the sides and corners of the aluminum foil and tightly wrap the onion. Place the foil-wrapped onion in an 8×8-inch square baking dish, then transfer to a 365°F oven. Cook for 1 hour.

Remove the onion from the oven and open carefully. Serve as desired!
The onion blossom better move over, because onion boil is taking its crown. This onion is perfectly tender (even in the center) and the flavorful butter it’s bathed in is simply divine. I enjoyed my onion boil with a cast-iron steak and I don’t think I’ll serve a ribeye without an onion boil ever again.
Editor’s Tip: This onion will be brimming with hot melted butter, so serve it in a bowl or on a plate with a rim to prevent a mess.

What is an ‘onion boil’?
Onion boil is a term that covers a category of recipes that involve hollowing out a whole onion, stuffing it with butter and seasonings, and then cooking it in the oven, grill or air fryer until sweet, tender and dripping with buttery goodness. Most versions wrap the onion in foil before cooking to help the onion steam and lock in flavor. However, air-fryer onion boil recipes typically leave the onion unwrapped to allow the edges to get slightly crisp.As for seasonings, Old Bay is a popular choice (and, likely, why the recipe is known as a “boil”). However, you can doctor up your onion with any seasonings you enjoy. Steak seasoning, homemade taco seasoning, lemon pepper or curry powder would all taste great and give you leeway to enjoy this humble onion dish with just about any cuisine.

- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1: Core the onion
Using a sharp paring knife, core the center of a sweet onion to create a hollow well. For best results, don’t go all the way through the other side. Make sure the bottom of the onion stays intact, so the butter doesn’t leak out instantly.
Editor’s Tip: An apple corer or vegetable peeler also works for coring an onion.
Step 2: Stuff with butter
Take 1 tablespoon of softened butter and stuff it into the cavity of the onion, filling the hole all the way to the top. Then, place the onion on a large piece of heavy-duty foil.Step 3: Make the seasoned butter
In a small glass measuring cup, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and then microwave in 20-second intervals until completely melted. Stir in the herbs and seasonings, then pour the melted butter into the well in the center of the onion, allowing it to overflow and pool around the bottom.
Step 4: Wrap in foil and bake
Bring up the sides and corners of the aluminum foil and tightly wrap the onion. Place the foil-wrapped onion in an 8×8-inch square baking dish, then transfer to a 365°F oven. Cook for 1 hour.
Step 5: Open and serve
Remove the onion from the oven and open carefully. Serve as desired!

I bought that smoking Santa Claus you posted somewhere else last year as a gift and that thing was a hit. I might have to buy these too just to display .

When I hear managers/owners say, "that's the way we've always done it" I see red. I left my last job, which was very short lived, because they had this attitude. They were also fucking clueless and had someone with half me experience "training" me.
While we still have a final get together on Friday, our biggest Christmas meals ended tonight, with braised lamb shanks rounding out the holiday meal meats.
I remember when Cool Whip first came out in the mid 60's
