### 🔥 How to Make Them
1. **Prep the Onions:**
Peel and slice the onions in half. Separate the large outer layers — these will form the “bomb” shells.
2. **Make the Filling:**
In a bowl, mix ground beef, cheddar cheese, egg, garlic, onion powder, breadcrumbs (if using), salt, and pepper.
3. **Form the Bombs:**
Take two onion halves and stuff them with the beef mixture, then press them together to form a complete ball.
4. **Wrap in Bacon:**
Wrap each stuffed onion with 2–3 strips of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
5. **Cook:**
* **Oven Method:** Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–45 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the meat is cooked through.
* **Grill Method:** Grill over indirect heat for 45–60 minutes, turning occasionally.
Optional: Brush with BBQ sauce during the last 10 minutes of cooking for a smoky-sweet glaze.

### Pro Tips
* Use thick-cut bacon for a crispier texture and better wrap coverage.
* Don’t overstuff the onions — leave room for the filling to expand as it cooks.
* Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving so the juices redistribute.
