4 large, sweet onions
½ cup beef tallow, room temperature
2 tablespoons bacon drippings, room temperature
1 tablespoon prepared grated horseradish
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon liquid smoke
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Place the tallow, bacon drippings, horseradish, and all seasonings in a small bowl, and mix with a spatula until well-combined. Set aside.
Peel and halve your onions one at a time, thickly spread one quarter of the tallow mixture on the flat side of one half of an onion, place the flat side of the second half against the tallow spread, and wrap the whole onion in aluminum foil so that it will form a bowl for the onion and sauce when it’s unwrapped.
Place your wrapped onions onto a baking sheet, and bake or grill at 400°F for 45 minutes. Carefully unwrap the foil (there will be scalding steam released!) to open the onion up to place under a high broiler for 2-5 minutes, depending on your preference. Serve hot from the broiler, with the tallow sauce for dunking.
