I have tried many recipes for Bloomin' Onions and Onion Rings. This is, by far, the BEST recipe! Instead of making rings or a blooming onion, I cut the onion into "petals". They taste great this way and there is little to no mess. Thanks for a great recipe!

We thought the sauce was 'spot on'! You definitely need to let it sit for a few hours to get the true taste. I too made onion petals which are easier but they do take longer to make since you have to fry them in batches. We really enjoyed them but we didn't feel the breading was quite the right texture as the Outbacks and they also weren't as spicy. HOWEVER, they were really, really good! Next time I won't use all the beer. I think that is why the batter was so thin and crisp compared to the Outback's. I'll also use some cayenne in the batter. Definitely delicious and a fantastic appetizer!! Thanks DiB's!

I made up the sauce for a great zippy dip option. Next time I'll try the onion too.

The sauce was SPOT ON! Tastes just like(if not BETTER) Outback's, We only used half the beer to make the batter for the onion and I doubled the flour and put some more Cannyee in it. The first batch we made like the first recipe calls for and it didnt come out well, I learned that if you double the flour and pepper and add approx 9 oz of beer it comes out better. It was hard to get the entire onion covered so next time we may just try making onion rings so it's easier. All in all this is a great recipe and I will be making this agian and agian!
