Just like the name says: onion, mozzarella cheese, pineapple, and all wrapped in bacon!
Bacon-wrapped Pineapple Mozzarella Onion Rings

Nutrition facts : Serving Size: 8;
Ingredients
- Bacon - 16-24 strips
- Pineapple Rings - 1 can (8 rings)
- String Cheese - Mozzarella - 8 sticks
- Yellow Onion - 2-3 Large (cut into ⅓ inch rings)
- Meat Rub - Any kind you want
Instructions
- Peel and cut the large onion into ⅓ inch slices.
- Open the can of pineapple slices, drain the juice and set aside 8 slices.
- Match the onion rings to the size of the pineapple slices—choose rings that have more of a bowl shape to help hold the string cheese in place.
- Tear the mozzarella string cheese in half.
- Place one half of the mozzarella in the onion ring and cut the other half to fill in the remaining gap. Place the cut piece filling in the gap.
- Stack the mozzarella lined onion ring on the pineapple and start wrapping with bacon slices. Use two to three slices of bacon per ring. Just take it slow and keep it all in place and it will eventually wrap—sometimes it takes some repositioning or re-stuffing of string cheese into ring.
- Once all wrapped, sprinkle on some meat rub to your liking.
- Start up the your grill and cook indirect at 400F for 30 minutes. (You can also cut it for 30 minutes in the oven at 400F in a roaster pan.)
- Optionally glaze with your favorite sauce.
- Let cool down for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara.
