Directions
-
Preheat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). This temperature is crucial to ensure a tremendous crispiness on the outside while keeping the interior moist and tender.
-
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to let the flavors meld. Form a small patty around each mozzarella stick, ensuring it is completely covered. This will create the base for a truly tremendous bite.
-
Wrap each mozzarella stick in a strip of bacon. The bacon adds a rich, smoky flavor and further enhances the indulgence of your dish.
-
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with a beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs. This organized approach makes the coating process smoother and ensures that each piece gets an even coating.
-
Dip each bacon-wrapped mozzarella stick bomb first in flour, ensuring it’s fully coated. Next, dunk it in the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. This triple layer of protection creates a tremendous crunch when fried.
-
Fry the bombs in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on the cooking process, as the bacon fat will add tremendous flavor.
-
Drain on paper towels and serve warm. This allows the excess oil to escape, preserving the wonderful textures of your newly created bombs.
