# How to Make It:

Combine ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until just mixed.
03 -
Fill each onion ring with the beef mixture, pressing firmly to pack tightly.
04 -
Arrange three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
05 -
Coat each stuffed ring by first rolling in flour, then dipping in egg, and finally pressing into breadcrumbs; repeat dipping for extra crunch.
06 -
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C) and fry rings in small batches for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown.
07 -
Remove rings and place on paper towels to drain excess oil; immediately sprinkle with crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese to melt.
08 -
Serve warm with ranch dressing on the side.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Use large, sweet onions for best flavor and texture. Avoid overmixing the ground beef to maintain tenderness. Fry in small batches to preserve oil temperature and crispiness. Serve immediately for optimal crunch.
