2. Cut the other 2 onions in half, lengthwise and peel all the layers of the onion. Then, cover every meatball with a couple of slices of the onion, add more ground beef to larger pieces of onions as needed. Shape them with your hands so they are round as possible. Wrap each onion-covered meatball with 2-3 slices of bacon, securing them with the help of toothpicks.
