A freakin\u2019 delicious recipe that combines all these incredible appetizers together! Plus, since we\u2019ve got the whole operation outside, Over the Fire Cooking style, you don\u2019t have to worry about making a mess preparing these onion rings inside. The BBQ rub<\/a> and my\u00a0HNY FYR BBQ Sauce<\/a>\u00a0give our Texas Twinkie onion rings that perfect touch of spicy sweetness to bring it all together.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/overthefirecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Plate-of-Texas-Twinkie-Onion-Rings-scaled.jpg\"\/)
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTo make this recipe, you can use leftover brisket or pick up some from your favorite local BBQ joint. If you\u2019re looking for inspiration, I\u2019ve got recipes for foil boat brisket<\/a>, smoked brisket<\/a> and more<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nIngredients for Texas Twinkie Stuffed Onion Rings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Texas Twinkie Stuffing<\/strong>: We\u2019ll make our Texas Twinkies with finely chopped brisket, diced jalape\u00f1os, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Onion Rings:\u00a0<\/strong>\u200bGrab whole yellow or white onions, sliced bacon, your favorite BBQ rub<\/a> and some of my HNY FYR BBQ sauce<\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n
Tips for the Best Stuffed Onion Rings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Give yourself time<\/strong>. The hardest part of this recipe is the prep. It\u2019s kind of tedious and can take 30-45 minutes to stuff those onion rings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use large onions.\u00a0<\/strong>You\u2019ll want the bigger size to get the right proportions for stuffing in the brisket.\u00a0You\u2019ll want to make sure the inner ring is also a decent size because the bacon has to pass through it for wrapping, so keep that in mind. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use thin-cut, cold bacon.\u00a0<\/strong>Thin-cut slices of bacon are easier to wrap than the thick-cut stuff. If it warms up, the bacon gets more malleable and won\u2019t wrap well, so keep it cold as much as you can.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to Make Texas Twinkie Stuffed Onion Rings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMaking the Texas Twinkie Filling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
First up, let\u2019s get your Texas Twinkie filling ready. That\u2019ll be 1.5 pounds finely chopped brisket, 2 small diced jalape\u00f1os, 8 ounces cream cheese, 1\/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix the filling together thoroughly and set it to the side.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Assembling](\"https:\/\/overthefirecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Texas-Twinkie-Filling.png\"\/)
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nStuffing the Onion Rings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now for the onion rings! Begin by peeling the outside layer of your 2-3 whole onions and slicing them into inch-thick rings. Grab 6-8 of the largest \u201crings\u201d and inside \u201crings\u201d to make the outside shape for our Texas Twinkie onion rings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/overthefirecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Three-Stages-of-Ring-Assembly-scaled.jpg\"\/)
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTake an outside ring and grab a handful of filling and place it in the center. Shape the filling to the outside of the onion, then place the smaller inside ring into the filling to make a \u201cdonut\u201d shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, wrap bacon around the outside and set it on a tray. Repeat these steps until you have all the stuffed onion rings you like \u2014 you\u2019ll need 2 pounds of sliced bacon for all the rings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Season all the onion rings with 3\/4 cup of your favorite BBQ rub<\/a>, then place them in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Seasoning](\"https:\/\/overthefirecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Seasoning-Rings.png\"\/)
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSmoking the Texas Twinkie Onion Rings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When you\u2019re ready to cook, preheat your smoker for indirect cooking at 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Add some wood chunks or chips for added smoke flavor if you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place the stuffed onion rings on the smoker to cook for 45-60 minutes or until they reach 165 degrees F internal. In the last 10 minutes, drizzle my HNY FYR BBQ sauce<\/a> over the top and glaze the onion rings. You\u2019ll use about 1.5 cups BBQ sauce in this step. Once the BBQ sauce is \u201ctacky\u201d and the rings are done, pull off and let cool for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Basting](\"https:\/\/overthefirecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Basting-Rings-in-BBQ-Sauce.png\"\/)
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nServe with more BBQ sauce for dipping on the side and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What to Serve with Texas Twinkie Stuffed Onion Rings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThese Texas Twinkie onion rings have plenty of meat, cheese and vegetables (yes, jalape\u00f1o peppers and onions count). So, they\u2019re definitely a loaded main dish or appetizer<\/a>. If you want some side dishes to complement the onion rings, go for a simple green salad or grilled sweet corn on the cob.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/overthefirecooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Sliced-and-Dipped-Rings-scaled.jpg\"\/)
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLeftovers and Reheating<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve got leftovers of these delicious stuffed onion rings, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or in an air fryer to keep them nice and crispy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
For More Spicy Peppers<\/h2>\n\n<\/p><\/header><\/section>\n\n\nFAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhy should I use yellow or sweet onions in these stuffed onion rings?<\/strong><\/strong> Yellow onions or sweet onions, like Maui or Vidalia onions, are best for this recipe. These types of onions have a mild flavor and are known for their sweetness. Some Vidalia onion farmers will even say you can eat one of their onions like an apple! I\u2019ll take their word for it. Maui and Vidalia onions are technically white onions. But, they have a much higher sugar content and lower sulfur levels than typical white onions.<\/p> <\/div>
What if I don\u2019t have brisket?\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong> It won\u2019t be a traditional Texas Twinkie, but you can definitely use a different type of meat in these stuffed onion rings. I\u2019ve made versions with ground beef<\/a>, Buffalo chicken<\/a> and chorizo<\/a>, and I\u2019m sure you could try ground turkey too. Just make sure the meat is cold so it\u2019s easier to stuff the Texas Twinkie onion rings.<\/p> <\/div> What if I don\u2019t have a smoker for these Texas Twinkie stuffed onion rings<\/strong>?<\/strong> You could pop them into the oven or your air fryer at the same temperature as in the recipe. Or, go with a good old-fashioned fry! For that method, heat up a pot of oil to 350 degrees F. Then, fry the prepared onion rings until they\u2019re crispy and golden brown. Just make sure you coat them with bread crumbs for that epic crunch if you\u2019re going the frying route.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTo make this recipe, you can use leftover brisket or pick up some from your favorite local BBQ joint. If you\u2019re looking for inspiration, I\u2019ve got recipes for foil boat brisket<\/a>, smoked brisket<\/a> and more<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get stoked for life<\/p>\n\n\n\n First up, let\u2019s get your Texas Twinkie filling ready. That\u2019ll be 1.5 pounds finely chopped brisket, 2 small diced jalape\u00f1os, 8 ounces cream cheese, 1\/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix the filling together thoroughly and set it to the side.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now for the onion rings! Begin by peeling the outside layer of your 2-3 whole onions and slicing them into inch-thick rings. Grab 6-8 of the largest \u201crings\u201d and inside \u201crings\u201d to make the outside shape for our Texas Twinkie onion rings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take an outside ring and grab a handful of filling and place it in the center. Shape the filling to the outside of the onion, then place the smaller inside ring into the filling to make a \u201cdonut\u201d shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, wrap bacon around the outside and set it on a tray. Repeat these steps until you have all the stuffed onion rings you like \u2014 you\u2019ll need 2 pounds of sliced bacon for all the rings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Season all the onion rings with 3\/4 cup of your favorite BBQ rub<\/a>, then place them in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you\u2019re ready to cook, preheat your smoker for indirect cooking at 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Add some wood chunks or chips for added smoke flavor if you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Place the stuffed onion rings on the smoker to cook for 45-60 minutes or until they reach 165 degrees F internal. In the last 10 minutes, drizzle my HNY FYR BBQ sauce<\/a> over the top and glaze the onion rings. You\u2019ll use about 1.5 cups BBQ sauce in this step. Once the BBQ sauce is \u201ctacky\u201d and the rings are done, pull off and let cool for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Serve with more BBQ sauce for dipping on the side and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n These Texas Twinkie onion rings have plenty of meat, cheese and vegetables (yes, jalape\u00f1o peppers and onions count). So, they\u2019re definitely a loaded main dish or appetizer<\/a>. If you want some side dishes to complement the onion rings, go for a simple green salad or grilled sweet corn on the cob.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve got leftovers of these delicious stuffed onion rings, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or in an air fryer to keep them nice and crispy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n \n\n Yellow onions or sweet onions, like Maui or Vidalia onions, are best for this recipe. These types of onions have a mild flavor and are known for their sweetness. Some Vidalia onion farmers will even say you can eat one of their onions like an apple! I\u2019ll take their word for it. Maui and Vidalia onions are technically white onions. But, they have a much higher sugar content and lower sulfur levels than typical white onions.<\/p> <\/div> It won\u2019t be a traditional Texas Twinkie, but you can definitely use a different type of meat in these stuffed onion rings. I\u2019ve made versions with ground beef<\/a>, Buffalo chicken<\/a> and chorizo<\/a>, and I\u2019m sure you could try ground turkey too. Just make sure the meat is cold so it\u2019s easier to stuff the Texas Twinkie onion rings.<\/p> <\/div> You could pop them into the oven or your air fryer at the same temperature as in the recipe. Or, go with a good old-fashioned fry! For that method, heat up a pot of oil to 350 degrees F. Then, fry the prepared onion rings until they\u2019re crispy and golden brown. Just make sure you coat them with bread crumbs for that epic crunch if you\u2019re going the frying route.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n Get The Cookbooks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the major tastes\u2014salty<\/strong>, sour<\/strong>, sweet<\/strong>, bitter<\/strong>, and umami<\/strong>\u2014are explored in depth, along with an investigation of other components you should consider when it comes to flavor, such as aroma<\/strong>, heat<\/strong>, and texture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n Mix together the Texas Twinkie filling thoroughly and set to the side.<\/p><\/li> Begin by peeling the outside layer of your onions and slicing into 1\u201d thick onion rings.
