Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Onion Rings – The Ultimate Game-Day Snack

1. Peel onions and slice them into ½-inch thick rings.

2. Separate the layers, choosing the largest rings for stuffing (each stuffed ring will need two matching sizes — one for the top and one for the bottom).

Pro Tip: Save the smaller inner onion pieces for another recipe, like stir-fries or soups.

Step 2: Cook the Beef

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until about halfway browned.

2. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir well.

3. Continue cooking until fully browned, then drain any excess grease.

Step 3: Add the Bacon & Cheese

1. While the beef is still warm, stir in crumbled bacon.

2. Add shredded cheddar cheese and mix until melted and combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Loaded Onion Rings

1. Lay one onion ring flat on a baking tray.

2. Spoon the beef-bacon-cheese mixture inside, pressing gently so it’s packed.

3. Place a matching onion ring of the same size on top to “seal” it.

4. Repeat until all filling is used.

Step 5: Coat the Onion Rings

1. Dredge each stuffed onion ring in flour (shaking off excess).

2. Dip into beaten eggs, coating fully.

3. Roll in seasoned panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently so crumbs stick.

4. For extra crunch, you can double coat by dipping back in egg and panko.

Step 6: Fry the Onion Rings

1. Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).

2. Fry onion rings in batches for about 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown.

3. Remove and drain on a wire rack or paper towel.

Step 7: Serve & Enjoy

• Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce — burger sauce, ranch, or a spicy mayo work perfectly.

• Sprinkle with parsley for a pop of color.
