Baked stuffed Trout

[beerman1981]

I found a similar recipe online, but have modified it for my likings, and believe me, this is delicious!

Ingredients:
8 trout (gutted with heads and all fins removed). (note: if the trout you have are very large, 2 pounds or so
before cleaning, you can get by with only using 2 or 3)
4 cups stale bread (cut or torn into1-inch pieces)
1 small yellow onion (chopped)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
4 pieces of fried bacon, crumbled
8 ounces chicken stock or chicken bouillon
4 tablespoons butter (unsalted) or margarine
2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 dashes of tobasco

1) Put dry bread crumbs in large mixing bowl and set aside. If need be, you can take fresh bread, cut it into small (crouton size) pieces, then put these pieces on a baking sheet at about 400 degrees, and cook until they are dried out.

2) saute the onion and garlic on medium in butter until onions start to turn golden brown. Do not heat too fast.

3) Add chicken stock, thyme, salt, pepper, tobasco to the onion/ garlic mixture and simmer 2-3 minutes

4) Pour the chicken stock mixture into the bowel with the bred crumbs that you have set aside. Add in crumbled bacon. Stir everything together until bread is completely moist, and all ingredients are well mixed.

5) Stuff the trout. Divy up the stuffing into equal portions. If necassary, use toothpicks to close the trout back up.

6) Place trout into greased baking sheet and bake approximately 20 minutes at 350 degrees, or until fish is cooked throughout and flakes easily.

7) Melt 8 tablespoons of butter with 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and drizzle over fish before serving.

Thank you for the awesome recipe. I will use this when I catch my first trout of the season, which hopefully will not be much longer.
