These are essentially bacon donuts…let’s be real!

Yes, the bacon is wrapped around a slice of onion, with some mozzarella cheese layered in between, seasoned and grilled…but c’mon it’s the bacon that we’re hankerin’ for!

Just another Saturday night snack made in heaven! 

As the motto goes…Be Prepared. Here is what you’ll need!

Ingredients:
  • 16-24 slices of bacon
  • 1 can of sliced pineapple rings (we need 8 rings)
  • 8 mozzarella string cheese sticks
  • 2-3 large sweet yellow onion, cut into ⅓ inch rings
  • SYD meat rub

Instructions:
1) Peel and cut the large onion into ⅓ inch slices.
2) Open the can of pineapple slices, drain the juice and set aside 8 slices.
3) Match the onion rings to the size of the pineapple slices—choose rings that have more of a bowl shape to help hold the string cheese in place.

4) Tear the mozzarella string cheese in half.

5) Place one half of the mozzarella in the onion ring and cut the other half to fill in the remaining gap. Place the cut piece filling in the gap.

6) Stack the mozzarella lined onion ring on the pineapple and start wrapping with bacon slices. Use two to three slices of bacon per ring. Just take it slow and keep it all in place and it will eventually wrap—sometimes it takes some repositioning or re-stuffing of string cheese into ring.
