The Instructions – Crispy Bacon Cheeseburger Loaded Onion Ring Bombs
Step 1: Cut and prep your onion rings
Slice your onion thick and pop out the middle so you have big and small rings.
The bigger ones will be your shell. The smaller ones? Your seal.

- Stuffani’s tip: I learned the hard way don’t cry over onions. Cry over soggy dinner. Keep ‘em thick.
Step 2: Mix up that magic meat
In a bowl, mix ground beef, garlic powder, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, crumbled bacon, and cheddar.
Not too tight let it stay tender.

- Kitchen whisper: This isn’t just beef. It’s the smell of dinner starting to feel real.
Step 3: Stuff your rings
Take a big onion ring, pack in the meat. Seal it with a smaller ring on top.

- Stuffani’s real-life reminder: It doesn’t have to look perfect. Your family’s not judging they’re hungry.
Step 4: Coat with care
Dredge each ring in flour. Dip in egg. Roll in breadcrumbs until they’re hugged tight.

- Want this step even easier? Use the method from my Lazy Weeknight Chicken Cutlets it works here too.
Step 5: Time to fry
Heat oil to 350°F. Drop them in gently and fry 4–5 minutes per side until golden.

- Stuffani’s deep-fryer truth: Don’t crowd the pan. Let them crisp in peace.
Step 6: Drain and serve warm
Let them rest on a paper towel. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce ranch, BBQ, or that leftover burger sauce.
