Ingredients

• 1 pound frozen onion rings
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Stir in the barbecue sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and cream cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Spread the sour cream and cream cheese mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 6

Spread the barbecue beef mixture over the sour cream layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.

Step 8

Arrange the frozen onion rings in a single layer on top of the cheese.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the onion rings are crispy and golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes to let the cheese melt.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
