  Take a small handful of the meatloaf mixture and place inside one of the onion layer pieces, then press another piece on top of the mixture, making an onion sealed meatball. Continue with the rest of your onion layers until your meatloaf mixture is gone. The number of onion bombs will depend on the size of the onions.

  Wrap approximately 3 slices of bacon around each bomb. Secure the bacon with toothpicks so it does not unravel while it's cooking. Place on grill grates.
