Equipment

  • Knife
  • Fork
  • Pot
  • Baking tray

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb steak minced
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 large white onion
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese divided
  • 2 mozzarella pearls divided
  • 8 slices cooked bacon divided
  • flour for breading
  • whisked eggs for breading
  • crispy fried onions for breading

Instructions
 

  • Mince the steak with a sharp knife. Tenderize the meat with a fork, season with salt and pepper, and divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Take 1 portion and flatten it on your work surface.
  • Peel the onion, cut off the ends, and cut the remaining section into 2 equal pieces. Remove the rings from 1 of the onion sections and place the largest ring in the center of the meat on your work surface.
  • Cut 1 of the cheddar cheese slices into 4 strips that are the same height as the onion ring. Place the 4 cheese strips around the inner wall of the onion ring and place a smaller onion ring in the middle.
  • Place a rolled-up slice of cooked bacon inside the smaller onion ring. Place an even smaller onion ring inside the rolled piece of bacon and put a mozzarella pearl inside the smallest onion ring.
  • Place 3 cooked bacon slices over the layered onion rings and tuck the ends underneath.
  • Take another portion of minced steak, flatten it out, and place it on top of the bacon-wrapped onion rings. Seal the top and bottom layers of meat so that the inside is fully covered and coat the stuffed meat in flour, egg, and crispy fried onions.
  • Heat a pot of cooking oil to 350°F. Repeat the previous steps to make a second serving and fry each bacon cheeseburger onion ring in the hot oil for about 45 seconds. Transfer the fried bacon cheeseburger onion rings to a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 250°F for 25-30 minutes.
