Deep-Fried Bacon Cheeseburger Corn is a delicious and indulgent snack that combines the flavors of a bacon cheeseburger into a crispy cornmeal coating.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 8 hot dog skewers or popsicle sticks
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup buttermilk or regular milk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Mix ground beef with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, salt, and pepper. Shape into 8 hot-dog-sized logs. Insert a skewer into each log and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the beaten egg and buttermilk, stirring until the batter is smooth.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 175°C (350°F). Dip the frozen meat logs into the batter, ensuring an even coating.
- Fry in batches for approximately 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve the corn dogs with ketchup, mustard, or a tangy burger sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add jalapeños to the meat mixture.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven.
