Country Style Barbecued Onions With Baked Beans

Realtor by day, Chef by night's Note:

These are so easy and quick to prepare. You put them right on the grill next to the other things. They make such a nice side dish for barbecued meats and what flavor! These were a real winner at our house! I have also made them filled with chili. From Bush's Baked Beans.

I used molasses instead of brown sugar. Hollowing the onions was a bit of a chore. I guess they were a bit hotter than I originally thought. Very good.
