I can't take credit for this one. Found it on Traegar's website... with pics. **drooling** Team Traeger | Bacon Onion Rings Bacon Onion Rings PELLETS: Cherry PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 90 minutes SERVES: 4 to 6 WHAT YOU’LL NEED • 1 pkg bacon • 2 large vidalia onions • 4 skewers • 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce (found in most super market or asian stores) • 1 tbsp regular yellow mustard • 1 tsp honey Cut onion rings, wrap in bacon, mount on skewer to keep bacon from unraveling. Put on the grill on hot.... this is for a pellet grill set to 400 so I have no idea how it pans out over coals. 45 minutes, flip, then another 45 minutes... that's what they say. They also said 3 hours for a chicken quarter that was done in an hour. Mix the chili garlic sauce and mustard, then add the honey. Baste the rings during the last 10 minutes.
Seems legit enough. When in doubt, just add bacon! I have found one really cool way to get into cooking more and loving the food more. Three words: cast iron skillet. Whoo, boy. I have been cooking in it on and off for years, but up until not too long ago, I also used a non-stick on occasion. I don't even own a microwave. Anyway, the food tastes so much better, it's healthier, and even faster for me because I just scrape and rinse the skillet out quick, wipe with a paper towel while still hot, and it's ready to go for next time. I think the skillet combined with outdoor grilling has really helped me to fully adopt this hunter/gatherer lifestyle so seamlessly.
I haven't tried this yet but we did the same thing using pineapple rings with mozzarella cheese thin sliced around the edge and then wrap the thing in bacon. Very good.
