Instructions

1- Prepare the Ground Beef:

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the ground beef (or turkey), and cook until browned.
Stir in the cayenne pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic salt, optional All-Purpose seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce.
Cook for a few minutes until well combined and set aside.

2- Prepare the Blooming Onion:

Slice the onion from top to bottom, not cutting through the root, to create petals.
Carefully separate the petals, leaving the core intact to hold the shape.
Whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl.
Dredge the onion in the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the fry mix. Ensure all petals are well-covered.

3- Fry the Onion:

Heat the oil in a deep pot to about 350°F (175°C).
Slowly lower the coated onion into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4- Prepare the Spicy Mayo:

In a small bowl, mix all the spicy mayo ingredients until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.

5- Assemble the Dish:

Place the fried onion on a serving plate.
Top with the cooked ground beef and shredded cheese.
Drizzle with spicy mayo, and scatter shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
