Smoked Bacon-Wrapped Onion Rings

Ingredients

2 large yellow onions
bacon
2 tbsp your favorite rub

Directions

Preheat your smoker to 275 degrees F.

Slice your onions into 3/4 inch thick slices. Separate the rings so that two rings remain together, this will give you sturdier onion rings that will hold up during cooking. You will likely get two rings out of each slice. Discard or save the smaller inside sections of the onions for stock, soup, etc.

Wrap each onion ring with a slice of bacon. The larger rings may require two pieces of bacon to cover them completely. Tuck the ends of the bacon, or secure with a toothpick, if necessary. Season all sides of the bacon wrapped onion ring with sweet rub.

Place the onion rings on the smoker and close the lid. Flip the onion rings at 45 minutes, and then start checking for doneness after 75 minutes After 90 minutes, you’ll have nicely rendered, bite through bacon with a slight crisp. If you want crispier bacon, you can increase the heat on your grill or smoker to 400 degrees F for the last few minutes.

Remove your finished bacon wrapped onion rings from the smoker and allow to cool just slightly before serving with a small bowl of BWF original Recipe BBQ sauce for dunking.
