Bacon-Wrapped Onion Rings

Fri, May 02, 2025 / 1 min read

These aren’t your average onion rings. We’re talking thick-cut Tender Belly bacon wrapped around golden onion rings, finished with a sticky, spicy Millionaire Rub that brings the perfect balance of sweet, smoke, and heat. Crispy, bold, and built to impress—this is snack time leveled up.

Perfect for BBQs, parties, or anytime you want to outshine the main dish. (Pro tip: make extra—one per person won’t cut it.) For reference...we like to serve about a half onion per person, but it’s up to you. Work backward for your ingredient needs based on how many people are being served. You’ll need one slice of bacon per onion ring.

These bacon-wrapped onion rings pair perfectly with our crispy potato salad, grilled chicken bacon sliders, and fresh Elote with TB Baconnaise for the ultimate summer BBQ plate. Fire up the grill and enjoy!

Ingredients

Large Yellow Onions
Tender Belly Bacon
For the Millionaire Rub: ¼ cup Maple Syrup, 1 TBSP brown Sugar and 1 TSP chili flakes (add more if you love heat!)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 385 degrees
Peel onions and slice each into ½ inch thick rounds
Wrap Each Ring with 1 slice Bacon (use tooth picks to hold bacon in place if needed)
Cook for 30 minutes at least. They will take longer than you think because of all the moisture from the onions.
Pull out to add Millionaire Rub when they are about ¾ done… (so after 20 minutes or so)
The resulting onion ring should be crispy and piping hot. As they cool they will harden up a bit and be easier to eat and share.

Don't Just Take Our Word for It

This bacon is so good I want to put it in my hair. That's not weird is it? No seriously, it really is the best bacon I have ever had.

This is the BEST bacon I have ever had. Very Juicy and tender. This bacon literally melts in the mouth.

Words pale to explain the rich layers of flavor in every bite of tender belly ham. The smallest bite delivers a rich full mouth experience that will be sure to put a smile on the face of your harshest ham critic.

The sausage links are outstanding and full of flavor, I highly recommend them
