Time 30m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium sweet onion, sliced and separated into rings (Vidalia)
2 1/4 cups Bisquick baking mix, divided use
1 cup beer (darker beer will make it more flavorful)
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chili sauce
1 teaspoon horseradish
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Steps:

Heat VEGETABLE OIL in deep fryer or heavy saucepan to 375*; oil should be about 1 1/2 inches deep.
Prepare Cajun Dipping Sauce by stirring until all ingredients are blended; set aside.
Toss onion rings and 1/4 cup Bisquick.
Stir remaining 2 cups Bisquick, beer, salt and eggs until smooth.
(If batter seems too thick, add more beer, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency).
Dip onion rings, a few at a time, into batter.
Fry about 2 minutes, turning each ring after 1 minute, until golden brown; drain well.
Serve hot with Cajun Dipping Sauce.
