Bessinger's BBQ Onion Rings Copycat
By: John Kilgallon, St. Louis, MO
This Bessinger’s BBQ Onion Rings Copycat appetizer was my first copycat recipe attempt. The family was ecstatic as I commenced the preparations. The rings tasted good with a crunchy, sweet taste and a hint of corn meeting that tender sweet onion flavor. Read my post on the RecipeLion blog for all the details!
