Crazy Crispy Bacon Onion Rings

Onion rings. Talk about versatility. They’re a side dish, an appetizer, game day treats, and a snack all wrapped into one glorious crunch.
But this bacon onion ring recipe bumps up ordinary onion rings with bacon (yum!). This gives the resulting dish a slightly smoky crisp. Add a dipping sauce and viola, you are a hero.
Using your oven, they take about a half hour. You don’t have to deep fry.
