•  4 very large onions ( Texas Sweet 1015 if you can get ‘em)
•  1 Egg
•  ½ Cup chopped ham
•  ½ slice white bread (no crust)
•  1 TBLS Milk
•  2.5 Oz can chopped mushrooms
•  4 TBLS butter
•  1 Tsp KA-Ranch Seasoned Salt
•  Fresh parsley

Take a thin, flat cut off the top of each onion.  Remove pulp with a melon baller, but leave the sides firm. Chop pulp and set aside.

Mix the butter with the seasoned salt and set aside.

Soak bread in milk for a few seconds and squeeze out the milk (discard milk).

Mix remaining ingredients with about 3/4 of the chopped onion pulp (save the remaining chopped onion for another use) and divide into onions.  Spread1 TBLS butter on top of each onion and wrap in buttered foil.

Cook on covered hot grill for 20 min.
