Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Optional toppings: chopped green onions, sour cream, extra shredded cheese
Directions:
- Prepare the filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain the fat and let it cool slightly.
- Make the stuffing: In a mixing bowl, combine the beef, bacon, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until creamy and well mixed.
- Shape the kegs: Scoop up some shredded hash browns and flatten in your palm. Add a spoonful of filling to the center, then mold the hash browns around it to form a compact “keg” shape. Repeat until all filling is used.
- Coat the kegs: Dredge each one in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and roll in panko breadcrumbs to coat thoroughly.
- Fry until golden: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry in batches for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Top with sour cream, green onions, or more cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the gooey, crunchy goodness!
