Oil for frying
14 -
½ cup ranch dip to serve
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Serve the rings hot alongside ranch dressing.
02 -
Once cooked, place rings on paper towels to soak up extra oil, then sprinkle cheddar and bacon on top so they get melty.
03 -
Heat oil till it’s around 350°F (175°C). Fry the rings in small groups for 3 to 4 minutes, turning now and then till they’re golden and crispy.
04 -
Dip each filled ring first in flour, then into the eggs, and finally roll in the breadcrumbs. Do the egg and breadcrumb dip twice for more crunch.
05 -
Get three bowls ready: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
06 -
Pack the beef mix inside each onion ring pressing tight so it holds.
07 -
Blend ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder just till combined.
08 -
Carefully slice onions into thick rings and separate them gently so they keep their shape.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Big sweet onions work best for this dish since they taste great and hold their shape. Don’t mash the beef too much or it’ll get tough. Fry in small amounts so oil stays hot and crispy. Eat them quick to keep them crunchy.
