Description
A delightful twist on comfort food, featuring crispy bacon wrapped around a cheeseburger mixture and sweet corn, all deep-fried to golden perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup fresh or frozen corn
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or thyme, optional
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain it on paper towels and crumble it into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef with crumbled bacon, corn, shredded cheese, and a lightly beaten egg. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Gently mix and form corn-sized balls.
- Roll each ball in breadcrumbs. For extra crispiness, double-dip in egg and then breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the balls in batches until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes). Drain on paper towels.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with dipping sauces like spicy mayo or ranch dressing.
Notes
Ensure the oil is hot enough to prevent greasy results. Experiment with seasonings to customize the flavor.
