Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 34 large yellow onions
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 24 ounces thin cut bacon

Maple Cracked Pepper Dipping Sauce

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon cracked pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to ensure easy cleanup and even cooking.
  2. Prepare Onions: Slice 3-4 large yellow onions into 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings to create gaps for stuffing.
  3. Stuff the Onions: Using about 2 tablespoons of breakfast sausage per onion ring, stuff the sausage into the gaps between the onion rings, creating layers of meat and onion.
  4. Wrap with Bacon: Wrap 2-3 pieces of thin cut bacon around each sausage-stuffed onion ring. Ensure the bacon is thin cut, as thick bacon is harder to wrap and cook evenly.
  5. Arrange and Bake: Place each bacon-wrapped onion ring on the prepared baking sheet with at least a 1 inch gap between each to allow for proper crisping. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked and crispy.
  6. Make the Dipping Sauce: While the bangles bake, combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon cracked pepper in a bowl. Stir until smooth to create a sweet and spicy dipping sauce.
  7. Serve: Drizzle the maple cracked pepper sauce over the bacon bangles or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce for a delicious contrast of flavors.

Notes

  • Use thin cut bacon for easier wrapping and better crisping.
  • Adjust the amount of cracked pepper in the dipping sauce to taste for more or less spice.
  • Make sure to space the bacon bangles well on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • These bangles are best served hot and fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a short time to restore crispiness.
