Ingredients

1 lb extra lean ground beef

1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
6 medium-size onions

Cut 6 12X14 inch rectangles of heavy aluminum foil and set aside.

Remove the centers, leaving a 1/4 in shell.
Finely chop the center from one of the onions and mix it into the meat mixture.
Tightly wrap the 5 remaining onion centers and refrigerate for future use.
Spoon the meat mixture into 6 of the onion halves, mounding it on top.
Place the remaining onion halves on top of the filled halves and press together.
Place one filled onion on top of each piece of foil.
Bring the ends of the foil up over the onion and flold down tightly in small folds.
Flatten the ends and roll them tightly around the onion.

You can also bake them in a preheated 350F oven for 45 minutes.
