Ingredients:
- 2 large onions
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices cheddar cheese, each slice cut into quarters
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably seasoned)
- Oil for frying
Directions:
- Prepare the Onions:
- Peel the onions and slice them into thick rings. Separate the rings carefully and set aside.
- Prepare the Cheeseburger Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until evenly combined.
- Assemble the Cheeseburger Onion Rings:
- Take an onion ring and press a small amount of the ground beef mixture into the bottom of the ring, covering the surface.
- Place a piece of cheddar cheese on top of the beef mixture.
- Cover the cheese with more beef mixture, pressing gently to seal the edges. Repeat for all onion rings.
- Set Up Dredging Station:
- Prepare three separate bowls for dredging: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
- Coat the Onion Rings:
- Dip each stuffed onion ring into the flour, shaking off excess.
- Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is coated.
- Finally, coat the ring thoroughly with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Fry the Cheeseburger Onion Rings:
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat (about 350°F or 175°C).
- Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches, depending on the size of your pan. Avoid overcrowding.
- Fry each batch for about 4-5 minutes, turning once halfway through, until they are golden brown and the beef is cooked through.
- Serve:
- Remove the fried onion rings using a slotted spoon or tongs and drain them on paper towels briefly to remove excess oil.
- Serve the Cheeseburger Onion Rings hot as a delicious appetizer or snack.
