Smoky Tennessee Onions

Ingredients

• 4 sweet Vidalia onion (sliced ¼-inch thick)
• ½ cup butter (cut into pats)
• 1 cup medium cheddar cheese (shredded)
• ½ cup smoked gouda cheese (shredded)
• ½ cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 Tablespoons Hey Grill Hey Spicy Sweet Rub (recipe link in notes section)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the smoker. Set your favorite smoker to 275 degrees F with a mild wood, like cherry or apple.

2. 2

   Prepare the onions. Slice the onions into ¼-inch thick rings using a sharp knife, then arrange them evenly in a 9x13 baking dish.

3. 3

   Add the toppings. Place the butter pads on the onions, then sprinkle on the shredded cheeses. Next, sprinkle the Spicy Sweet Rub evenly onto the dish.

4. 4

   Smoke the onions. Place the prepared baking dish or pan on the smoker grates, close the lid, and allow to cook for 2-3 hours. If you prefer softer onions, go closer to 3 hours. Once the cheese is crispy and the onions are slightly translucent, remove them from the smoker.

5. 5

   Serve and enjoy. Serve your Tennessee Onions as a casserole, or as a side or topping for BBQ. Enjoy!
