Bacon-wrapped onion rings: shape cheesy garlic beef into rings, set inside large onion rings, wrap each in bacon and bake at 180°C on a rack until golden and crisp. A meaty, cheesy BBQ bite.
Instructions
- 1
Place the ground beef in a mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and press in 3 cloves of garlic.
- 2
Add 150 g of shredded cheddar cheese and mix everything together until uniform.
- 3
Cut the tops off the onions, separate the rings, and select the large, sturdy outer rings.
- 4
Roll a portion of the meat mixture into a short log, curve it into a ring, and press it into an onion ring. Use a smaller onion ring to press inside and hold the meat in place.
- 5
Wrap one strip of bacon around each assembled ring — this keeps everything held together.
- 6
Place on a wire rack over a baking tray. Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 25 minutes until golden.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the wrapped bacon onion burger?
Both wrap bacon around onion, but here the onion ring is filled with a cheesy beef ring rather than just cheese, making it a meatier, burger-like bite.
How do I keep them from falling apart?
Pack the beef firmly into a sturdy outer onion ring, use a smaller ring to hold it in place, and wrap with bacon — baking on a rack crisps it without sogginess.
Can I air-fry these?
Yes — air-fry at 180°C for about 15–18 minutes until the bacon is crisp and the beef is cooked through.
