Onion Ring Casserole Recipes

ONION RING CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to temperature 350°F
• Season beef with salt and pepper to taste and press into the bottom of a large greased casserole dish.
• Sprinkle corn evenly over meat.
• Combine cheese and mushroom soups in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
• Spread half this mixture on top of meat.
• Place a generous layer of tater tots over soup. Sprinkle bell pepper over potatoes.
• Cover with remaining soup mixture.
• Arrange onion rings over top and bake 1 to 1-1/4 hours until golden brown and bubbly.

OLD FASHIONED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
• Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping. The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. Give it a hard tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
• Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with seasoning salt, and serve.

ONION CASSEROLE I

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Melt the margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until tender. Turn off the heat, and stir in the sour cream and Parmesan cheese. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, and crumble the crackers over the top.
• Bake uncovered for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is browned and the sauce is bubbly.

ONION RING CASSEROLE - AKA ONION FLUFF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Use pan spray to grease a large casserole baking dish.
• In a bowl combine the soup, chiles, garlic, beaten eggs, wine/beer/milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper, and stir well to incorporate.
• Place about 1/2 cup of the mixture on the bottom of the sprayed casserole dish.
• Place one layer of onion rings on the bottom of the dish, then a second layer on top of the first, overlapping where the rings touch each other (sort of like how the Olympic rings overlap).
• Pour half of the cheese mixture over the ring layers.
• Add another two layers, continuing with the overlapping.
• Pour the remaining half of cheese mixture over the top, using a spatula to try to cover as much of the rings as you can.
• Top with shredded cheddar (or Velveeta, if you really want to go that direction, but I think cheddar tastes better).
• Cover with casserole lid and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
• Makes 8 to 10 side servings.
• Note: you can add other ingredients to this to make it more of a main dish/one dish meal, if you like, such as browned ground beef, hash browns or o'brien potatoes, and vegetables such as green beans or corn; it can probably also be done in a crockpot, somehow.
• Good with salsa and/or hot sauce, too!
